wow. pretty amazing that it just went on and on. Almost more like a mudslide or a river in flood than an avalanche.

Incredible. I've only seen a couple of little ones in real life. That's ludicrous.

That's an amazing bit of film. Were they at any point saying "How about we get the hell out of here, my friend?"

I thought it resembled a flow of lava - pretty unstoppable!! However, it would be a brilliant example to demonstrate a lecture on erosion to school kids, you can quite understand how massive events like that can change the landscape.

shoogly, no, it was during the later part where the body of snow crept creeping forward and the blocks were kind of tumbling off of the front of it. When you see TV pics of big black/red lava flows moving slowly - at that point where they just start to creep along - I just thought the movement was similar. I then went down the route of the strangeness that two things at such opposite ends of the spectrum could move in such a similar manner - sorry just doing an anorak moment  . I like the concept of erosion and the changes that the earth can make under it's own devices.

That is the most dramatic footage I have seen of an avalanche developing and progressing.

It is the part of St. Leonard in Passiertal that starts the climb up to the Timmelsjoch Pass. The part is called Moos in Passiertal. Just put that into Google map and you will see it is south of the pass. The Gurgls (Ober- and Hochgurgl) are over the other side of the pass from here. I drove through this village last summer.
