Adding to the drama was a slow-motion avalanche in Russia that damaged and buried cars in a parking lot at the foot of the slide. Note the darkish tint of the snow at the beginning of the above video, which caught the full avalanche down the slopes of 18,510 foot (5,642 m) Mt. "Dirty snow" was reported from Greece to Romania, Bulgaria and the ski slopes of the famed Sochi resort in Russia. While orange snow is certainly rare, it is not unheard of. A similar event happened in Siberia when orange snow fell in 2007.
