Move to the side of the avalanche.

Don't hesitate: move as quickly as possible to the side of the avalanche slope. If the avalanche begins well above you, you may be able to get out of its path before it reaches you.

Shovel strategically:If the victim is buried fairly deep in the snow, you'll need to dig a large hole to get at him. The hole need to be as large as the square of the depth of burial. Start digging downhill from the probe, and throw the snow downhill.
