Avalanche on Mont du Vallon, Meribel 18.03.11

Hopefully an educational video with permission given by the family and friends of the missing person. An avalanche set off by a skier who cut above another person causing a slab to break loose which then crated a larger avalanche. The person who created the avalanche can be seen in the very top left of the first photo. There are other onlookers on the ridge directly above where the skier got caught up and also one other person skiing who was near the bottom when the snow stopped… do not confuse this skier with the person who is now missing at the time of the upload.
