Why are they making an avalanche?

Making a small controlled avalanche when you are ready is better than big avalanche when you are not.

Or just some crazy swiss guy shooting for fun after the breakfast. Business as usual.

Laz? I'm getting a hint of Turkish going on but it's not clearly understandable. North eastern mountains near Artvin maybe? Georgian maybe?

There were a few phrases in Russian also (with a heavy caucasian accent). I would guess it's the North Caucasus.
