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.

What de you call a slow-moving mass of ice on a mountain?
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.
