Yep, that’s ski patrollers in Kazakhstan using fireworks for avalanche control before hurrying up a lift tower to get out of the slide path. Here is the message that was posted with the video Translated from German:

“Work in explosive shymbulak, Kazakhstan. It wasn’t always easy and safe to blow up avalanches. Especially with the simple resources were available to us. We blew up with pyrotechnics and not with said amendment. Hence the extreme limitation in the coverage, as we had to hang also directly in our shooting down ramps build. See video. Everything went well and it was funny too.”
