What would you do? How would you get out?

Well, luckily for one snowboarder, luck was on his side and a skier just happen to ski right past him when he was almost completely buried in snow. The skier saw just his feet and snowboard and ended up digging the guy out and saving his life.


Man, that is such a scary thing for that snowboarder. I can't imagine being stuck upside down and buried in snow. Talk about having someone looking out for you like a guardian angel.

It looks like the only reason the skier found the snowboarder was that he ended up almost skiing over the snowboard which was sticking out.

This video is a good reminder that you should stick to trails and always ski or snowboard with a partner just in case something bad should happen.
