RJ Phipps was hiking up Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington over the weekend with his wife when he took out his camera to shoot a snowboarder and skier. Within seconds, Phipps watched as the two men were nearly engulfed by an avalanche. He caught it all on video. The skier was able to scramble to the side of the avalanche on Saturday. The snowboarder ended up several hundred feet down the ravine and waist deep in snow. Both people escaped injury.
