Bruneck native Andreas Auer captured footage showing downed lines sparking into frightening life having fallen onto trees in the area, which is located at the foot of Kronplatz mountain, a skiing hotspot.
Sharing Auer's footage on Facebook, Martin Ausserdorfe, the mayor of nearby market town Sankt Lorenzen, warned that the situation was "dangerous" for locals.
An avalanche caused large snowdrifts and debris to partially engulf the South Tyrol town of Martell on November 17.

Maybe Italy should take some lessons from California and shut the grid down. 2 m/6+ ft of snow is crazy amount of snow, the power was bound to go out.
Last time we had snow almost that deep, we were without power for 3 weeks.
I do get a kick out of B's and RC's though... my bros
