snow slide

A snow-slide on a British mountain or in the Alps is an avalanche; often in the Himalaya it becomes almost a convulsion of nature.

The music of the fall is constantly heard, and every five or ten minutes the roar of a snow-slide thunders on the ear.

Mukoki was caught under a snow-slide once and was buried under thirty feet for ten hours.

I don't think there will be a snow-slide, not in time for me.

In snowy zones the avalanche is commonly called a snow-slide, or simply a slide.
