	The New 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche from Chapman Chevrolet in Tempe, Arizona
		Pioneered on the first-generation Avalanche, the clever Midgate opens to extend the cargo-carrying capability from the cargo bed’s 5.3-foot-long (1.6 m) length to 8.2 feet (2.5 m) – 2 inches (51 mm) longer than previous models.
		When the Midgate is open and the rear seat is folded flat, Avalanche can carry 4-foot by 8-foot (1.2 m by 2.4 m) sheets of plywood with the tailgate closed.
		Avalanche also has a new tailgate that is spring-loaded to reduce the effort needed to open or close it.

	Avalanche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An avalanche is a very large slide of snow (or rock) down a mountainside, caused when a buildup of snow is released down a slope, and is one of the major dangers faced in the mountains in winter.
		Avalanches are often classified by what they are made of, for example snow, ice, rock or soil avalanches.
		Avalanches occur when the load on the upper snow layers exceeds the bonding forces of a mass of snow (bonding to layer beneath, horizontal internal stability, support from anchors such as rocks and trees, stress support from top or bottom of slope).

	Avalanche Facts [FAQ]
		Avalanches release most often on slopes above timberline that face away from prevailing winds (leeward slopes collect snow blowing from the windward sides of ridges.) Avalanches can run, however, on small slopes well below timberline, such as gullies, road cuts, and small openings in the trees.
		The CAIC is staffed by 14 avalanche professionals.
		Thirteen are experienced avalanche forecasters (5 based in Boulder and 8 based in the mountains) who monitor snowpack, weather and avalanche conditions in the mountains.

	National Geographic Kids Magazine: Avalanche! Snow That Smashes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		An avalanche is a moving mass of snow that may contain ice, soil, rocks, and uprooted trees.
		Avalanches begin when an unstable mass of snow breaks away from a mountainside and moves downhill.
		Avalanches have been known to reach speeds of 245 miles an hour (394 kilometers per hour)—about four times as fast as the speediest downhill skier.

	Avalanche Awareness: Information About Avalanches and Avalanche Safety
		According to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, 89 percent of victims are men, most victims are between the ages of 20-29 (although the average victim age is 31), and three-quarters of victims are experienced backcountry recreationists (who are more likely to enter risky situations).
		Slab avalanches are the most common and most deadly avalanches, where layers of a snowpack fail and slide down the slope.
		Avalanches can fall in a "piecemeal" fashion, where one avalanche will run and leave the rest of the slope weakened, and the slightest provocation can cause subsequent avalanches on that same slope.

	YOJOE.COM \| Avalanche
		Avalanche was first released carded invidually as part of the Battleforce 2000 subset of G.I.Joe at the very end of the sixth series (1987).

		Avalanche came with a silver rifle and a silver mouthpiece.

		A man freed himself from an avalanche by drinking beer and urinating on the snow to melt it.
		He told them that after the avalanche, he had opened his car window and tried to dig his way out with his hands.
		The story has so far proved difficult to verify because its attributions have been vague (e.g., "correspondents in Bratislava"), and it evidently originated in a part of the world (the Slovak Republic) where information sources are more difficult to track down (particularly because the language is unfamiliar to most westerners).
