dc.description.abstract	A method for calculation of “maximum” avalanche run–out distance based on topographic parameters only is described. 423 well–known avalanches have had their maximum extent registered. The average gradient of avalanche path (α–angle), measured between the highest point of rupture and outer end of avalanche deposit is used as description of avalanche run–out. The topographic parameters which determine α are described.	en_US
