Having a 16mm bw print (2-reeler) of the movie, it has been and still is an enjoyable time passer around the holidays for the past 50 years. As with many B movies of its time, Avalanche offers that "TV" episode feel stretched out in a full feature film. Not much of an action film, but does have its moments of suspense and drama. Despite its drama and suspense, there is a touch of comedy to break the ice. Specifically the part with the talking crow that seems to speak only to one character. One would wonder if it was all in the characters mind to mask his boredom and fear! So if you like skiing, scenes of snow avalanching randomly and being snow bound in a ski resort, this is the movie to see.
