This is the moment hundreds of powder-loving skiers hit the slopes as soon as they opened after a recent storm.

The footage was captured on March 10 in Alta, Utah.

"On March 8 and 9, a storm hit Utah, leaving almost two feet of new snow at the Snowbird ski resort," explained John Tracy.

"On March 10, a large crowd gathered to ski in the untouched snow. This video shows the moment that the ski patrol dropped the rope, allowing everyone to ride the untouched and deep run," he added.

'Just like all that glitters isn't gold, all those who hit the powder aren't trained skiers, as shown in this humorous clip.

Shared by John Tracy, this footage features people hitting a puffy slope in droves, with many of them losing balance and falling down right off the bat.
