Tree wells are a danger wherever there is fresh snow. Francis Zuber was skiing in Washington when he caught glance of a partially buried snowboard. Ian Steger, a rider from a different group, was buried upside-down and unable to free himself. Francis, trained in avalanche-rescue protocol, sprung into action to clear Ian's airway.
The mountains don't care how much experience you have or how careful you are. Accidents can and will happen-riding with company that is prepared and educated is the best way to stay safe in dangerous terrain. Thank you, GoPro Awards recipient Francis, for showing us what it means to "Be a HERO" 🙏

No question about it, saved his life. Man deserves all the praise coming his way. God even if he could still breathe, the claustrophobia of being in the dark, upside down, unable to move and all alone would be enough to drive anyone into complete panic; the fact that he seemed relatively calm once he was saved is amazing.
