This is not related to tickets.

An avalanche is a collapse of a large quantity of snow from a packed overhang to a lower area, typically from the top of a hill or mountain into a valley. An avalanche causes a huge fall of snow.

What causes the high speeds of avalanches?

Avalanches can reach high speeds due to factors such as steep slope angles, large amounts of accumulated snow, and the presence of a weak layer in the snowpack. When the stress acting on the snow overcomes the strength of the weak layer, the snow mass can rapidly release and accelerate downhill, leading to high-speed avalanches.
