　　Avalanche and Its Safety

　　An avalanche is a sudden and rapid flow of snow, often mixed with air and water, down a mountainside. Avalanches are ____51____ the biggest dangers in the mountains for both life and property.

　　All avalanches are caused by an over-burden of material, typically snowpack, that is too massive and unstable for the slope ____52____ supports it. Determining the critical load, the amount of over-burden which is ____53____ to cause an avalanche, is a complex task ____54____ the evaluation of a number of factors.

　　Terrain slopes flatter than 25 degrees or steeper than 60 degrees typically have a low ____55____ of avalanche. Snow does not ____56____ significantly on steep slopes; also, snow does not ____57____ easily on fiat slopes. Human-triggered avalanches have the greatest incidence when the snow’s angle of rest is ____58____ 35 and 45 degrees; the critical angle, the angle ____59____ which the human incidence of avalanches is greatest, is 38 degrees. The rule of thumb is: A slope that is flat enough to hold snow but steep enough to ski has the potential to generate an avalanche,　regardless of the angle. Additionally, avalanche risk increases with ____60____; that is, the more a slope is disturbed by skiers, the more likely it is that an avalanche will occur.

　　Due to the complexity of the subject, winter travelling in the backcountry is never 100% safe. Good avalanche safety is a continuous ____61____, including route selection and examination to the snowpack, weather ____62____, and human factors. Several well-known good habits can also ____63____ the risk. If local authorities issue avalanche risk reports, they should be considered and all warnings should be paid ____64____ to. Never follow in the tracks of others without your own evaluations; snow conditions are almost certain to have changed since they were made. Observe the terrain and note obvious avalanche paths where plants are ____65____ or damaged. Avoid traveling below others who might trigger an avalanche.
