Perhaps I'm dumb, but how do you die from an avalanche without getting buried? Was there a rock slide that killed them and sent them on their way? Or did they get hit by massive ice chunks or something? I'm just not understanding how they're sent on their way sliding down on top of the snowy mountain terrain.

There could be a lot of ways to die from an avalanche

-Carbon dioxide poisoning from swallowing too much snow

-Avalanches throw you around like a ragdoll to cliffs or sharp rocks, you die from trauma like broken bones, your neck snapping, cuts and more.

Not to mention just getting outright merked by a really solid chunk of ice flying down the hill directly into your forehead.
