I think this would hurt initially, but after you starting numbing out, it wouldn't hurt righ.....wait a second. Hmm, you'd still be able to find yourself gasping for air even when you're numb
Depending on the situation being burried alive wouldn't neccessarly be that bad. I mean, if yer trapped under an avalanche the force of the avalanche itself would force show into your mouth and nose so you'd probably have a couple minutes of intense freakin' out before you passed out and eventually died. If, for example, you were able to take cover or something and got trapped under the snow but not crushed by it (like in the first example), then you'd probably get sleepy and pass out from lack of O2 as the CO2 increased. Pretty painless way to die.
On the other hand burning alive would probably be my #1 most painful way to die (aside from torture or something unnatural prolonged).
