A pinwheel starts its life as a snowball, which begins to roll downhill and gains mass. It only takes away the surface layers of the snow and generally indicates warming of the snow surface. As it rolls down the hill and snow surface, it takes on a "swirled" kind of appearance. Pinwheels generally don't get much bigger than a meter or so. Before the size becomes too big, they come apart. They are not generally a hazard themselves, but more of an indication of warming on the snow surface. Common in the afternoon on sun exposed aspects. [Reference: Grant Statham, Avalanche Specialist, Parks Canada.]  2, record 2, English, - pinwheel

Pinwheel and snowball are not the same. A pinwheel is a piece of snow that rolls down the slope in a certain way (spinning). Normally this happens when the sun warms a slope and pinwheeling is an indication that the snow is warming.
