Avalanche I

One of my passions that I have had since I was a young boy has been skiing. I learned on the small hills in the Midwest but have been skiing the Sierras and the Rocky Mountains for the last 35 years.
This was a man made avalanche as Snowbird ski resort ski patrol worked diligently to keep the mountain safe. A series of detonations at the top of a cornice set this one off.

Avalanche I

I captured this image on a ski trip out to Snowbird in Utah. The Ski Patrol had been working avalanche patrol since I arrived. On the second day there they had set off a controlled explosion on a large cornice starting this avalanche. I was truly amazed at how quickly the snow came down the hill and the power behind it was just amazing.
