A skier has captured his descent down a mountain gully with the snow ‘bubbling’ around him like water.   

Miles Clark, 42, filmed the breathtaking video as he sped down the rocky chute in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada.

Point-of view footage shows Clark, a professional freeskier and mountain guide, slaloming as the powder snow flows around him like a white tsunami.

He made the run on the famous ‘Terminal Cancer Couloir’ in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada – one of the 50 Classic Ski Descents of North America.

The Ruby Mountains are Nevada’s wettest mountain range, and good snow can almost always be found above 8,000 feet during the winter months. 

Miles, from Squaw Valley, California, said: ‘I like to stop and ski this chute when I drive across Nevada from Tahoe to Utah or vice-versa.

‘Luckily, I was hiking up by 6:30am and I was the first and only one in the chute the whole early morning.

The speed with which his skis hit the snow chop it up and make it look like spray from a waterfall as he descends the mountain

‘People like this video because the it’s one of the most aesthetic chutes in North America with tall, vertical walls that are only about eight feet apart and seem to go on forever.

‘This particular video is popular because the snow is falling and sluffing and bubbling down with me as I ski down, especially on the initial pitch.’
