A slow melting glacier
A slow-moving river of ice is called a glacier. Glaciers form when snow accumulates and compresses into ice over time, flowing downhill under the force of gravity. Glaciers can carve out valleys, carry debris, and shape the landscape as they move.

A continental glacier can move in all directions and a valley glacier can move in a surge. :)
Depending on when it was formed, the size and speed it is moving it could be either an Avalanche or Glacier. If it is an incredibly old, slow moving, large, ice mass it is likely a Glacier; however if it is a quickly moving, small (relatively), ice mass it is an Avalanche.
A glacier. Please see the related link for more information.
Glaciers on average only move a few inches per day. Some don't move at all. The Jakobshavn Isbræ glacier in Greenland moves 20 to 30 meters a day, while the Byrd Glacier in Antarctica, the biggest in the world, moves 2 - 3 meters a day. Some may move more quickly if they are affected by seismic invents that may happen near its location.

You're describing a glacier.

They melt and then slide
