The Swatch Skiers Cup is rich with highlights, but Sverre Liliequist stole the show recently by launching a back-flip while being chased by an immense avalanche, which he successfully outran.
(The avalanche portion of the video begins at the 54-second mark, and the slow-motion back-flip is at about 1:50.)
Liliequist's run was being filmed from the air by Skiers Cup crew. The big-mountain and back-country competition, in Zermatt, Switzerland, runs through Friday.
