We were 9 Brits and 1 American on a guided tour of the Tian Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan. We’d just reached the highest point in the trek and I separated from the group to take pictures on top of a hill/cliff edge. While I was taking pictures I heard the sound of deep ice cracking behind me. This is where the video starts. I’d been there for a few minutes already so I knew there was a spot for shelter right next to me. I was on a cliff edge, so I could only run away from the shelter (hence why I don’t move). Yes I left it to the last second to move, and yes I know it would have been safer moving to the shelter straight away. I’m very aware that I took a big risk. I felt in control, but regardless, when the snow started coming over and it got dark/harder to breath, I was bricking it and thought I might die.
Behind the rock it was like being inside a blizzard. Once it was over the adrenaline rush hit me hard. I was only covered in light powder, without a scratch. I felt giddy. I knew the rest of the group was further away from the avalanche so should be okay. When I re-joined them I could see they were all safe, although one had cut her knee quite badly (she rode one of the horses to the nearest medical facility). Another had fallen off a horse and sustained some light bruising.
The whole group was laughing and crying, happy to be alive (including the girl who cut her knee). It was only later we realized just how lucky we’d been. If we had walked 5 minutes further on our trek, we would all be dead. If you look carefully in the video, you can see the faint grey trail winding through the grass. That was the path. We traversed it afterwards, walking among massive ice boulders and rocks that had been thrown much further than we could have run, even if we acted immediately. To make it worse, the path runs alongside a low ridge, hiding the mountain from view, so we would have only heard the roar before lights out.

"Oh well at least it's far away, it won't get this far, let's watch."

That deadline approaching while I'm busy procrastinating.
-
The best cameraman of this century. Amazing footage.
-
As long as he was holding the camera, I knew he'd survive. 😊

"Objects in camera are closer than they appear"
-
It’s like he suddenly realized he wasn’t watching this on youtube.
-
Me : why he is not running? He : I am cameraman😂😂

Зрелище классное и страшное, Но самое главное, что оператор уцелел❤
-
Rare footage of what our parents had to endure while walking to school.
-
This is 10× better than any avalanche scene of documentaries.
-
Ну раз мы это видим , значит оператор жив
-
Ну учитывая наличее этих кадров человек выжил. Лавина это страшная сила.
-
This is simultaneously the most beautiful and the most terrifying thing I have ever seen.
-
The panic sets in for us when we say to ourselves: “he can’t zoom back anymore!!!”
-
Looking like clouds running on the surface ☁️☁️☁️
-
Наш Кыргызстан.❤ Хоть он живой😮
-
Can I just say l, Thank you to the camera guy, who let us all experience this 👏🏻👊🏻👏🏻
-
Me thinking to myself: "It should stop now right?" Avalanche: "Nope."

Круче видела только видео с войны, первой чеченской, городской бой, бегут офицеры, вдруг один из них падает, смотрит на часы, и буднично говорит: - Все. Он убил меня. Он меня убил. Ровно и бесстрастно говорит, не стонет, не кричит, не зовет на помощь. И… умирает в кадре. Это самое страшное о войне.

Живу в Кыргызстане, но далеко,как этот турист не забиралась 😊
