In case you needed a reminder of who’s in charge out on the mountains, check out this insane footage of a huge avalanche in Ophir, CO.

Triggered by heli-skiing outfit Telluride Helitrax, when the avalanche finally came to a stop, a 150′ long stretch of road was buried 15′ deep.

Here’s another angle of the slide… woah!
