Suddenly, a deafening noise interrupts their conversation.
A group of snowmobiles is racing across a ridge of snow
above them.
“That’s dangerous,” says Zac. “The weight of those snowmobiles
could break off that ridge of snow and start an
avalanche
.”
“You’re always worrying,” Jess replies reassuringly. “It’ll be fine.”
“Don’t speak too soon,” shouts Ben. “Look!”
“Run!” yells Amelie, as they hear a dreadful cracking noise.
An avalanche of snow starts to slide dangerously down the
mountainside towards them, throwing up a blinding plume of
white powder ahead of it...
Avalanche!
