A computational study of sliding blocks on inclined surfaces is presented. Assuming that the friction coefficient $\mu$ is a function of position, the probability $P(\lambda)$ for the block to slide down over a length $\lambda$ is numerically calculated. Our results are consistent with recent experimental data suggesting a power-law distribution of events over a wide range of displacements when the chute angle is close to the critical one, and suggest that the variation of $\mu$ along the surface is responsible for this.
