Avalanche on Ruapehu

Although currently based in London I'm originally from New Zealand. So when my friend sent me this link about an enormous avalanche on Mount Ruapheu, an active volcano in the North Island of New Zealand, it had quite an impact. I have climbed to the top of this mountain and skied down from the summit several times. And never once considered that it could be a serious avalanche risk, I never thought we had enough snow in New Zealand for serious avalanches.

This has to be the biggest avalanche I have ever seen truly amazing stuff.

Thanks for the link Barry.
