An April 24 avalanche near the Cheget ski & snowboard resort in Terskol, Russia, was captured on video from a nearby lodge by local instructor Oleg Koshkarev, whose footage shows snow careering down a mountain path before moving clear of the resort.

Koshkarev’s client Mathis can be heard joking in French “I love you dad, I love you mom,” yet Koshkarev said they were “very frightened.” Credit: Oleg Koshkarev via Storyful
