So far, no injury were reported even though there were skiers on the lift. Amazing.

Yup, unbelievable video. Can't imagine what I would have done/thought/said if I had been on the lift and seen that coming towards me!

Crazyness!!!
Really slow moving snow.

This is why I don't ride chairlifts.
If God had wanted us to ride chairlifts he would not have given us skins.

Wow!
Seems to be moving pretty slow in the video... more like a basalt flow than an avalanche. Like, if you were skiing, I'm pretty sure you could get out of the way, though it would be scary to be on the chairlift. Glad no one was hurt.
