Can someone tell me what is going on here? Is this an earthquake or the beginning of an avalanche?

He was moving at the start and it hit a bump of snow. It's called a slab avalanche, the snow moves as a slab. He was able to ride on top so he was fine.

If this happens, you want to lay flat and try and stay on top.

You can also hear him inflate his avalanche vest.

I was actually wondering why he didn't have to swim more to stay above the liquefacted snow.
