Avalanches are an ever-present danger among mountain-goers in the backcountry. Last year's death of pro skier Jamie Pierre in a Utah slide is proof enough of that. Since the snow is starting to drop in parts of the country and forecasters are predicting another big snowy winter we figured it was a good time to remind ourselves how scary and dangerous avalanches can be. In this clip we see some Russian bystanders get spanked by a scary, big avalanche. Don't forget your peeps, people!
