See it: Colorado 'snownado' stuns crowd at Breckenridge Ski Resort

Video captured by TikTok user @_dreek shows the fascinating phenomenon created when warm air from the ground and cold air from the upper atmosphere merge, producing a swirling vortex of snow and wind.

A magnificent spectacle of nature was witnessed at Breckenridge Ski Resort in Colorado earlier this week.

A rare snow devil, also known as a "snownado," formed Saturday before a mesmerized crowd.

Video captured by Dree Kinder shows the fascinating phenomenon created when warm air from the ground and cold air from the upper atmosphere merge, producing a swirling vortex of snow and wind. 

"Oh what a day it was," Kinder posted on TikTok along with a clip of the action on the slopes.

Although snow devils are weaker than tornadoes, they nonetheless showcase the same principles of nature, creating an awe-inspiring sight. 

The World Meteorological Organization says wind shear – the change in wind speed and/or direction – near the surface will then generate a vortex over the snow, resulting in a spinning column of snow that is lofted into the air.
