That much snow coming down from that altitude would have hit those structures like steel walls. I would be surprised if it didn't ravage the super structures. A strong avalanche is no joke.

It looks like these are what are referred to as controlled avalanches. Those are ones that are deliberately set off strategically to prevent worse ones occurring when not expected.
Seeing how quickly an avalanche can be triggered by small changes in snow conditions is eye-opening. It’s crucial to always be aware of your surroundings.
@@RRRIBEYEGood idea. Its always tripped me out that our money is only worth anything because the government says it is. I've got a nice bank account that won't be worth anything when the grid goes down.
Nowhere near the world's largest avalanche, but to be expected from youtube. The largest avalanches can actually modify the structure of the mountains, destroying ridgelines or toppling small subpeaks. This does look impressive, but it's due to the snow being so light and dry that it creates a big dust cloud of snow.
At first I'm like, "phhhh no way" about half way thru the video I'm catching my jaw dropping!!Then bye the end I'm like, " well there ya have it"... World's biggest avalanche!!
my Geography Teacher from 1975 to 1980 was a Yorkshire guy called Mr Goddard - for many it was a first hearing of a Yorkshire guy pronounce “ Tuunn-drrra “ & everyone was doing their best to replicate this sound…😁👍
@@StephenASmith-lm6gz Not true, natural avalanches occur all the time, most are caused by the weight of new snow, or snow being redeposited by the wind, which again adds weight. Or simply rising temperatures which makes the snow less cohesive. It's as natural as waves in the ocean, it happens all the time.
It looked like three explosive charges were setoff at the top to start the avalanche. I would have liked to see the aftermath after the dust had settled. I expect some of the structures were buried, or destroyed.
I don’t ski, or at least the one time I did, even the snow asked me to give it up, and I had no idea about why this was purposefully done. So thank you Poopy and Samuel, for the explanation. Signed, Mrs. Captain Dimwit

I was wondering about that. Is it iced over? Or just shallow? Or just that much snow
@@seeker296 No... it's "speed".
Throw a flat stone towards water at a tangent angle and see what it means ;)
@@Cyber_Kriss The cold temperature of the snow might also be supercooling the air underneath the avalanche sort of like a cold pyroclastic flow.

Its really just billowing clouds of snow. The avalanche was spent.

The snow is in dangerous conditions which means it could fall at any time. They manually trigger to avoid tragedy.
