Snow-avalanche speeds, run-out distances, and the concepts from dense granular flows are combined in a model for prediction of speeds along the incline. Field measurements indicate that speeds and run-out distances are nearly independent of path steepness once a length is chosen to scale them. Application of granular-flow concepts explains these results. The most important feature of the model (and the speed data) is the steep gradient of speeds in the run- out zone. These results emphasize the need for high precision in run-out prediction when construction or defences are contemplated.L'auteur pr\ue9sente un mod\ue8le de pr\ue9vision des vitesses sur la pente bas\ue9 sur la vitesse et la distance de glissement des avalanches de neige ainsi...
