VIDEO: Massive 'powder cloud' avalanche descends down Utah mountain
A combo image shows avalanche descends down Mount Timpanogos.
A massive 'powder cloud' avalanche snowballed down the Mount Timpanogos at Sundance Resort in Sundance, Utah on Tuesday, burring trees under it.
The avalanche stopped just before hitting the resort and skiers.
The authorities said no one was injured.
Sundance Resort said on Twitter, “Today there was a natural avalanche that started on Mount Timpanogos and carried down the mountain into an area outside our ski area boundaries. Footage shows the dust/wind cloud reaching guests who were watching but no one was hurt as deposition area never reached our boundaries.”
The authorities said that it was not controlled. The resort wrote on its page, “Sundance has confirmed that this was off resort property and that there were no injuries.”
It also said, “We remained open all day and hope you will join us tomorrow for more amazing skiing and boarding. We are very grateful for our amazing ski patrol who work so hard to ensure our mountain is safe”.
