This is called a Tree Well. Basically, snow falls all around the tree high, but at the base of the tree, it's empty. So if you go near it, you flip and fall head first in and it's 3'-5' feet of empty air underneath, surrender by snow. It is super dangerous and you literally cannot dig our way out.

Yeah, I have read about it in the comment section of the youtube video. A lot of people died this way, it's tragic...
In these snow conditions, always go with friends and keep eyes on each other.

The crazy part is how no one really knows about it and skis by trees anyway. It should be a sign on the lift for black diamond runs
