Avalanche Paths

Avalanche Paths is a geographical construct denoting a topographically defined trajectory, typically comprising a starting zone, track, and runout zone, along which snow avalanches regularly travel, thereby distinguishing it from other alpine landforms by its specific morphological and dynamic characteristics relevant to avalanche hazard assessment and terrain analysis.
