Cornice Blast

A massive plume of snow erupts from a mountain cornice as an avalanche charge detonates, sending white powder billowing into a bright blue sky. Jagged peaks frame the blast, capturing the raw power and drama of controlled avalanche work high above the ski slopes. Captured near the backside of Snowbird Ski Resort.
