A group of skiers who were waiting to ski down a slope in a resort in the Austrian alps were shocked when the snow gave way in an avalanche. Fortunately, no one was buried by the snow.
The skier, who remained anonymous, was near St. Anton am Arlberg, a village between the Swiss and German borders, preparing to ski down an off-piste, or unmarked, route, according to Reuters.
This particular off-piste area was popular, though, and several skiers were waiting on a ridge while others took their turns skiing down it. As one group descended and the skier with a helmet camera waited, the ridge suddenly fell out from under them, tripping some skiers and pulling the filming skier down under a flurry of snow.
Luckily, according to Reuters, no one was actually buried by the snow, although a mountain rescue team did come to the skiers' aid.
