Snowboarders at the base of the mountain film the avalanche

ANYONE PLANNING A ski holiday in the near future might want to give this one a miss. Snowboarders captured the trajectory of a huge avalanche on Mount Cheget in Russia – watch as it builds to epic proportions and eventually blocks out the sun.

Enjoy. (And excuse the ‘rawk’ soundtrack).
