"MUST HAVE PISTE HIS PANTS. Terrifying moment snowboarder hurtles down mountain in wall of snow for 30 seconds after triggering avalanche…but rides away unhurt."

"The dardevil snowboarder appeared to trigger the avalanche while riding off-piste in Swiss ski resort Nendaz.
Head-cam footage shows the snowboarder crashing into a mound of snow which collapsed and sent him plummeting down the slope."

"At one point it looked as though he would lose his board and get flipped upside down.
But luckily he remained clipped into his snowboard."

"The powerful wall of snow sent the boarder hurtling down the mountain while powder almost covered him completely.

"After at least 30 seconds of tumbling down the mountain, the avalanche started to ease."
