It all depends on how many people are in that area. But the two main reasons how an avalanche can kill is when the there is fresh snow that is powder falls you have no oxygen. Then for the second main reason that an avalanche can kill is when there is wet snow, packing snow fall it is really heavy and you can break your neck or crack it. And there are many more reasons but that is the main reasons that I know of...
