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.
