A single step may start an avalanche. Several tonnes of snow and ice, destroying everything on their way. Snow slides are unpredctable and impossible to stop. Landslides are caused by volcanoes. Fugen in Japan is such a volcano, ejecting ashes, rocks and toxic gasses. Avalanches are more common than volcanoes - there are about a million of them each year - and they pose a greater threat. You will see an avalanche sliding down a mountainside at a furious speed - 300 km/h - breaking trees as they were matches, and you will see skiers running for their lives in front of the white killer. You will follow a helicopter sent out to bomb unstable snow masses. This film will change your idea of avalanches forever.
