==Description==
Level 210, also known as 'Mountain Slide', resembles a large, snowy mountain, with wanderers always appearing at a small flat area on one side near the peak of the mountain. Except for a few minor exceptions that will be explained later, the mountain is completely covered in snow. The temperature of the level remains at a cold -10°C (14°F). Because of several physical attributes of the level, as well as the fact that it leads to and from A Long Forgotten Exclamation, it is thought to be closely related to the latter, possibly making it a sub-level.
The wanderer who ends up in Level 210 receives one or more of the following childhood toys: a sleigh, sled, snowboard, and a pair of skis with ski poles. The beginning point evokes nostalgia and prompts the individual to recall previous encounters with the stated toys. These items only appear if the individual had them in their childhood and seem identical to the ones a wanderer has previously used, with the only alteration being the size to fit the wanderer. If said wanderer did not have any of these objects in their previous life, they are given a sled with a steering wheel. Moreover, an unknown anomaly will ensure that any sleighs or sleds used will not be more liable to tip over than other sliding equipment despite that being the case commonly.
Furthermore, if a person possessed a damaged sleigh/snowboard/skis in their childhood, an unknown anomaly will ensure it still functions properly. If it was significantly damaged (for example, huge portions missing), the item gets replaced with a repaired replica.
After 30 seconds of being in the level, a snowstorm will begin to quickly form via unknown means at the peak of the mountain, quickly gaining mass and turning into a living avalanche with glowing light blue eyes, so one must be as quick as possible to start their slide down the peak to avoid immediately getting caught in the Avalanche and possibly even get well ahead of it. The wanderer's goal in Level 210 is to get to the bottom of the mountain without getting caught by the Avalanche for 50 miles (80,46 km), which chases the unlucky wanderer who ended up here.
On their way to the exit, they encounter obstacles like small cliffs, destroyed shacks, and trees. The shacks always appear degenerated, with some shacks being more damaged and visibly unstable than others. Most of them are almost empty of furniture, with some being devoid of furniture whatsoever. Any furniture present, which is as languished as the shacks they occupy, is always placed to the sides of the shacks, respective to the wanderer's path and leaving the walls as the only major obstacle that the shacks present.
The hindrances and their positions randomize every time someone ends up in this environment. Wanderers reported that unique obstacles, like forests, destroyed buildings, and deep gaps that can cause a wanderer to trip over the cracks appear on the trail. Witnesses also stated that they encountered frozen hospital hallways inside mountain tunnels coated in ice, which contained different elements. These elements ranged from windows lighting the path (even though, as previously stated, the hallway is inside a mountain tunnel), inaccessible doors lining the hallways, to the walls and the ceiling being overlaid in ice, albeit they looked fine.
There are instances where there are no windows or doors, and the walls and ceiling are not overlaid in ice. Besides that, the hallway is damaged, emits blue lights, and possesses a combination of the mentioned attributes. On the sides of the snowy path, thick forests neatly border the course, preventing travelers from going off the pathway. At multiple points of the track, walls made out of the snow-destroyed buildings and typical barriers one finds on a ski path also border the sides, while sometimes there are no barriers present in the first place. The parts of the mountain not covered in snow are the ruined huts, the undersides of the trees, portions of some of the cliff faces present in the level, and sometimes the walls and the ceiling of the hospital hallways.
==Entities==
There is only one entity known to reside in Level 210, that being The Avalanche.
Due to the ever-present dangers and the overall layout of the level, the latter of which likely would have allowed visitors to spot any other entities present, there are likely no other entities on the level whatsoever.
===The Avalanche===
The Avalanche is an extremely powerful and seemingly unstoppable entity in Level 210, having the form of a raging snow avalanche with two glowing light-blue eyes that distinguish it as an entity.
As was earlier mentioned, once a wanderer has spent 30 seconds within Level 210, The Avalanche will begin to manifest, starting as a whirling snowstorm and then quickly gaining mass to turn into an avalanche, after which its eyes will open and it will immediately start chasing the wanderer who ended up in the level. Once it has started the chase, The Avalanche will never stop in its pursuit until the wanderer in question escapes the level.
It is widely believed that The Avalanche only manifests when a wanderer remains in Level 210 for 30 seconds, as the entity has never been reported to have already manifested before a wanderer's arrival in the level or before the first 30 seconds have passed. Some have speculated that The Avalanche is malevolent and does not simply kill out of necessity but out of choice, reasoning that The Avalanche only appears when a wanderer has been in Level 210 for 30 seconds — if that is indeed the case — because it lives to cause pain and death and does not take any interest in any other activities whatsoever.
It is unknown what state The Avalanche exists in when it has not yet manifested or whether it is even alive or sentient during these periods. Theories on what state The Avalanche might be in during the aforementioned periods of non-manifestation include but are not limited to the entity existing in a non-corporeal form, existing as living snow that has not yet started to transition into an avalanche, and not existing at all.
The Avalanche can plow through and destroy most obstacles in its path, except for the mountain itself and the tunnels. Often, The Avalanche will change shape to fit through the tunnels and continue pursuing the wanderer it is chasing, making it possible for the tunnels to collapse to slow it down, though it will eventually either burst free and continue its pursuit or go back the way it came and continue said pursuit on the surface. Occasionally, however, it will not follow the wanderer into the tunnel and instead trail them on the surface, sometimes catching them at the end of said tunnel or the very least surprising them.
