What’s the dynamic of an avalanche? Millions of ice crystals have be compressed , melted and refrozen back sheets and layers deep into the snowpack. Once those clusters start to snap the whole thing comes tumbling down. The newer snow on top adds to the weight and momentum as it rides gravity to total chaos and a melting pot of new and old ice and debris. When it stops it can be a fortress of mortar that entombs everything.
