The thing with avalanches is that it settles and packs in like sand. It isn't "just a bunch of snow". It's amazing how Even just a little of that can lock you up.

Yep
I have checked one out right after it fell, not soft at all. Very hard and packed.

My HS homie died young in one in Colorado.

Nature reminds us just how small we are.I use to get out on the ocean in a little rubber boat and got reminded of that alot when the swells were bad.Dropping 4 feet after going over one was no fun.

I know they were wearing ski boots, but I like to imagine they really run like that when danger is coming.
