The 2010 Salang avalanches (Dari: برفکوچهای سالنگ, Pashto: سالنګ کې د واورې ښوئېدنې) consisted of a series of at least 36 avalanches that struck the southern approach to the Salang Tunnel, north of Kabul. They were caused by an unusually intense snowstorm traveling through the Hindu Kush mountains.
