Professional freeride skier Phil Meier (Switzerland) escapes an oncoming avalanche during Freeride Quest, a qualifying event for Xtreme Verbier, the freeriding world championship.
The sport involves off-piste skiing through a variety of terrains, with very few restricting rules. It is not uncommon that a freerider triggers an avalanche. Meier finished the session safely. Of the 19 men competing in the event, five qualified for the world championships.
