Look out! Giant snowballs are raining down faster than you can say brrr! The only way to keep from getting buried in the avalanche is to connect the black spheres and open up the tunnel. And, the only way to connect the black spheres is to get rid of all the snowballs in the way. Watch out for the Avalanche…

An avalanche is caused when a build up of snow is released down a slope, and is one of the major dangers faced in the mountains in winter. An avalanche is an example of a gravity current consisting of granular material.

In an avalanche, lots of material or mixtures of different types of material fall or slide rapidly under the force of gravity. Avalanches are often classified by what they are made of, for example snow, ice, rock or soil avalanches. A mixture of these would be called a debris avalanche.

A large avalanche can run for miles, and can create massive destruction of the lower forest and anything else in its path. For example, in Montroc, France, in 1999 300,000 cubic metres of snow slid on a thirty degree slope, achieving a speed of 100 km/h. It killed twelve people in their chalets under 100,000 tons of snow, five meters deep. The Mayor of Chamonix was charged with manslaughter. [Encyclopedia Lockergnome]
