I don't believe this story. When an avalanche stops the snow recrystalyzes into a very hard form. This is called sintering. If his car had been hit by an avalanche, the snow would of been rock hard and wouldn't of fallen into the car.

That was my big complaint... I've always heard that when you are buried in an avalance, the INSTANT you stop moving, you need to expand a bubble around yourself as quickly as possible, because you only have a few seconds before the snow will harden around you.
