Facts

You rarely get avalanches where the slope is less that 25 degrees.
Slab avalanches are the most deadly and occur when a frozen slab of ice on the surface of the snow breaks off.
When snow gets heavy because it, s saturated with water you get what's known isothermalas avalanches.
As an avalanche shoots down the slope to collect more snow if it picks up lots of air with the snow it becomes what is called a powder snow avalanche. These are the large avalanches and can reach speeds of 300 kph (190mph).
