WILD VIDEO - During avalanche mitigation work, a parked Utah Highway Patrol vehicle captured the moment an avalanche came racing down the mountain, covering a portion of the road in snow. WATCH:
The footage shows a UHP vehicle parked on the side of the road when a small avalanche races down the mountain, creating a cloud of snow with zero visibility for a few brief moments.
Officials say the avalanche happened on State Route 189 near Deer Creek Reservoir on Monday when crews were performing avalanche mitigation work.Nearby, several skiers at Sundance Resort experienced a"powdercloud" avalanche on Monday as well. A fast-moving wall of airborne snow blew hundreds of yards away from the avalache, which came to a stop in the dry lakes area just outside the resort.
As a result, the skiers were hit with white-out blizzard conditions, however, nobody was injured in the slide.Despite wearing and carrying many pieces of avalanche safety equipment, the body of the man was discovered under 22 feet of snow in Pole Canyon on Monday night.
