On January 16, 2026 a pre‑planned explosive trigger set off a massive wall of snow that rushed down a Russian mountainside, saturating a local ski resort and flooding surrounding trails. ABC News filmed the event for its nightly news segment, bringing live footage to viewers worldwide. The avalanche, released to free up unsafe slopes, was estimated to have traveled 150 meters in less than a minute, covering the resort’s main lift and resort buildings.
