Drone pilot Mactac told Storyful that he noticed the snow starting to sweep down Nahmint Mountain on May 2 when he rushed to get the drone back into the air to capture video of the mesmerizing moment.

"I scrambled to get the drone back into the air as fast as I could, just in time to catch a huge amount of snow hitting the base of the mountain," he told Storyful."Even from a kilometer away, the sound was huge," he added. "It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a view of an avalanche just meters above the snow."Related
