Abstract
The author studied the vertical pressure distribution of creeping snow cover on a sloping ground.
The profiles of measured pressure distribution may be classified into two types, such as D and B type shown in figure 1.
The moment of force that turn over the pole is the product of total pressure acting upon the pole and the height from the ground surface of the center of figure on pressure force elevation.
This height of the maximum moment was estimated to be 3040% of the maximum depth of snow cover in year.
