Large Avalanche Sends Giant Snow Cloud Over Skiers at Utah Resort

A group of skiers at Sundance Resort, Utah, witnessed a “massive” avalanche on Mount Timpanogos on Monday, March 27.

Video recorded by Thomas Farley shows the avalanche send a giant powder cloud into the sky. Sundance Resort said no one was injured from the avalanche and that it happened outside of their boundaries.

Farley said he was skiing on the mountain when he saw the “massive” avalanche.

“I checked to make sure I was not going to get hit and then got my phone out to film,” he said.

“The avalanche did not make it to the resort boundaries, but the massive powder cloud did. [It] kept us covered in a super thick cloud of snow for one or two minutes.” Credit: @th0mas.farley via Storyful
