Snowboarder rescued by stranger: 'I was gonna die on my own' 

Oop, careful. Apparently someone's triggered by the fact I said 'god' in my comment, so he might come to yours cuz you used the word 'miracle'

Repent of sin and Trust in Jesus! John 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Matthew 7:13-23 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. -----------

Wait 2.5 minutes of straight digging is that impressive to you it has to be adrenaline? God damn you must be unfit, especially since its snow, not like its dirt filled with rocks.

Just went snowboarding for the first time a few weeks ago, and it's very tiring! Seeing the guy in the video try to get through the snow itself is exhausting enough. The rush to save another's life helped for sure

And at altitude too, extra exhausting

May be a stupid question, but is the buried snowboarder able to breathe under that snow? Is the snow porous enough to allow some air in? He did seem out of it for a bit.

Especially at a high elevation.

It’s cold and it gets hot at the same time. Worst than any cardio workout

also that it appears he fell forward and right into a tree well. which happen because the snow is much less packed and dense underneath foliage, also making voids. scary stuff

Would he be able to breath?

​@Drew Hipsley fall into tree well hit the tree and all the snow on the tree falls onto you

even getting back up to the boarder was probably enough to get the skier a bit gassed and sweatin. People who haven't been in it can't comprehend it. It's like running on the beach but the sand is 4 ft deep and you're on the moon. He worked so hard so fast I'm surprised he didn't make himself sick. True hero. Nowdays too many people look the other way. Lucky he wasn't in a big city stuck in a similar manner, people would have run his pockets and taken pictures with the stuck man, only later finding out that he died, and then laughing about it, that's how cruel and ignorant people are today. Guy was lucky, he really had himself a guardian angel on that mountain.

@@penguinjay humanity has its vile moments but also its grand moments

Well what makes u even more tired is the dump of adrenaline. U wouldn’t truly know what it’s like unless your in this life saving situation. Just telling someone to dig in snow with their hands know what it’s like ain’t enough.

I had to get off piste to avoid a learing skier because she had her sticks sticking behind her sideways, blocking a narrow path. I landed legs first into chest deep powder. It took her boyfriend and me 5 minutes to get me out of there. Can't even imagine the horor when you can't even move a finger

​@@penguinjaybro lmao what the hell was that last part you wrote 😂

is he ok? How long was he in the ditch before the skier arrived? I don't think it can be more than a couple of minutes...

​@@meredithjohnson2843Same, my spidey senses go off from stuff like this.

That's the part that made the tears flow for me. As soon as he saw the position of the feet his adrenaline spiked and he was on it

exactly he's getting exhausted digging but powers through knowing he cant stop til he reaches his face. Just getting that short 6 feet from where he 1st saw the board and then up to the board to begin digging is a mass effort as anyone knows thats beeen in these wicked new snow conditions.

@@davidtiessen7713SERIOUSLY! I I remember getting stuck on a closed run at a resort. Fell into the snow chest deep and the entire run was like that. I was stuck with a buddy and we took AT LEAST 2hrs trying to “sled” down with our snowboards. So many times I felt like just giving up and accepting that this is it, but we eventually made it down. By the time we got to the main lodge, the last of the guests were leaving (30min-1hr after the slopes ALL closed) One of the scariest experiences of my life.

Holy sheesh! Glad you made it out to tell us that story! God bless you and yours in Jesus mighty name!

yeah i think he started panicking around 1:57 after he saw the snowboarder's position wouldn't let him breathe

Pretty sure that would be attempted leaving this life's subscription if he wasn't fit enough to ski..... That is not a couch activity. Especially not that kind. You're not wrong, in general, but this is not a potato activity.

​@@aftersexhighfiveswhat are you even saying?

​@aftersexhighfives you can use the correct words in the damn comment section.

@@callisto2895 no you can't 😆

Part of it might be it being a tricky place in general - the skier seemed like he, too fell at that point. Which makes a coincidence a bit more likely.

​@@JariJuslin yes, but if you take that particular route, the are many different possible routes. Good thing they decided to go that way!

Same thing happened to me once, last run of the day, sun going down, off trail, last guy in my group at the tail. Crashed into some deep snow, any movement made me sink deeper, so i stayed very still laying there for a bit, noticed one very skinny bare branch hanging into the hole i was in, i prayed and grabbed that skinny little branch. Fully expected the branch to break, but that skinny little bare branch didn’t break and i pulled myself up and out and carefully finished the run. That little skinny branch saved my life i believe.

@@RazzleDazzle109 I kind of know the feeling, skiing off trail and getting into an accident alone is terrifying, fortunately I never had a moment where I thought I would probably die if a skinny branch would break on me. Safe skiing and thanks for sharing!

Never go out alone !

you can tell by the way he says “i’m good” while upside down buried in snow that he never complains about anything

100 %

@@CaptLuser Not just "I'm good" but "take your time", like he actually cares for the well-being of the person saving him. Good man.

well said!

The way he thanked him you can tell he’s a lefty and eats his eggs sunny side up with cheese!

When I was a kid, before I knew how to swim, I tried to jump into the deep end at a lake thinking I could walk across the bottom. Fortunately for me, at the perfect opportunity some other swimmer in a floaty floated right above me. If they hadn’t been right there right then I probably wouldn’t be alive today. I don’t remember much how it felt then because I was so little, but that gratitude still sticks with me. Whoever you are stranger, thank you so much for saving my life.

I have a dream about this where i get buried alive by my ex friends to prank me and the experience is scary bcus I have death anxiety but I got found and the feeling is weird even tho its a dream lol

How does someone not suffocate immediately when they are packed in with snow like that?

@@wheeliesforthefeelies3995 Apparently he was in there for about 5 minutes. As long as you have room for your lungs to move, you might have a bit of air packed in with you. Extremely lucky timing, regardless.

Theres a bit of room inside a tree well that if dug into properly you can use as an emergency shelter. Falling into them collapses that “roof” of snow around you -Leaving you unable to move but with little air pockets of loose snow. Even with those air pockets. (If you’re lucky to have one.) most say you have less than 10min of air. Fantastic job by the skier!

@@TheBold1994 Thank you. And yeah, he did. I still don't understand how that happened, as he'd been there so many times before. He should've known better. The only factor I can think of is that there was 8 ft of fresh snow that morning, and maybe the change in terrain made him misunderstand where the route was.

@@Polymathically He probably got that urge to shred some fresh powder off the track. Been there done that and almost died. Learnt my lesson twice and never again. First time, I almost went down an iced over water fall and the second time my car keys ended up falling out my pocket and luckily a skier was following me and managed to grab them and meet me at my car as I realized I had lost them

I believe it's required gear to go in the backcountry. You should have it anywhere at Baker.

It might have just happened but it's possible for a person to freeze to the point of death but the body takes on a kind of hibernation. I'm a Medical Sergeant for SAR and when training is drilled in "You're not dead until you're warm and dead"

@@ladyweasellou3367not in this situation, or in a case in which there’s no oxygen fed to the brain.

No lie there. I skied in deep powder at Alta for the first time about 15 years ago. 18-24 inches of the light and fluffy stuff. Last run of the day had a release and went 15 feet down a steep run. Twenty minutes of effort later I was no closer to my erstwhile ski than when I started and completely winded (and I was running marathons at the time). Luckily another skier came along and was able to grab it and get it down to me. This guy was a total boss getting back up to the boarder.

If you are in this kind of situation, the last thing you are worried about are the tempratures. You develope so much adrenaline due to the fact that you have to act quickly in this do or die situation. The life of a human lies in your hands. Can you imagine what would happen to you if you couldnt get him out alive. You would have trauma for the rest of your life. Not because it is your fault, but because your mind will tell you what you could have done differently and that feeling of "what if" never leaves you. Believe me, i were in some kind of do or die situations and the cold is secondry in this sitation.

@@WarrenPuffet I'm aware, just tossed it out there. Hand granade. Always found it astonishing when we come across a recently frozen animal and *occasionally* able to bring it back with little to no negative effects. One of us will usually take it home to be sure but it's interesting. Did my training in The Carpathian Mountains and found a massive frozen bat, my instructor helped me save it. That was the funniest and most protective animal I've ever seen. Lost a little foot and primary 'toe' from frostbite so he hung wrong side up.

I'm sure both were immensely relieved once he could breath open air again giving time to dig him out properly.

Yep. Completely insane

I thought the same. You can see the skier looked eyed the route to his left and then decided to squeeze through that tiny gap in the trees. What are the odds of him just going through that little space!!! Clearly not the snowboarders time to go!!😅

To be fair I don’t know any backcountry riders who aren’t in at least a little bit of shape.

IT'S HARD! people do not realize how much the winter affects the body until it hits them So much energy used in such little time Then add on top the bulky gear and snow that's trying to swallow you You're basically already using so much power to just get around When it's cold out like that It's an absolute beast to go up against So always stay hydrated and well fed in the cold time of the year And be easy on yourself

Lol came for this comment

He was sarcastic, jk :P

Funny. I saw it more as he was extremely nonchalantly given the situation. A person grateful to be saved would more than let you know with specific words

​@@darkflyper9536​to add to what Mike stated, if you stay on the slope it won't happen to you. And to go off-slope you'd have to be fairly experienced, you don't go off-slope on your first day skiing 😉 So, if you want to try it, have a go.

My brother fell into one snowboarding in Utah. By himself, like the guy in the video, which wasn't too smart. Somehow my bro righted himself and managed to get out. He thought that he was a goner too. The risks of hitting the glades, lady bois....

For example, he took of the skies but immediately made some rampart with them, to serve as a lifesaver in case he would fall into some void below himself; he had not waisted precious time for assembling the shovel, but dug with his hands. And had the shovel in the backpack, I don't think everyone does this. Wonderful sample of responsibility, for himself and other people. Really very, very well done!

@@ubangis1 Yep he dug to the face first to allow him to breathe, using his hands in order to not hurt him with the shovel until he could have a better understanding of how the body is positioned so he could shovel safely . Very well done indeed.

@@samaraisnt interesting

He was upside down aswell. All the blood rushing to your head can't be good for you

Well I wouldn’t say there was no panic You can hear the guys heartbeat and the adrenaline filling up which means he’s panicking to a extent He’s just not letting it consume and overtake his ability to think clearly of what to do and how to react And the guy under the snow I’m sure he’s panicking but he’s also buried headfirst in thick fresh fallen powder snow which might as well be concrete to him so despite panicking and probably attempting to flail and get out there was about butt fuck all he could do with that panic once your hear him gulp in a few breaths of air and respond though you can tell he thought he was dead

Yeah, thanks for what you explained ... you can kinda see it looks like he took a head first dive next to a tree... ///suppose the evergreens may heat from the sun and create these pockets?/// EDIT, Wiki: TREE WELL : A tree well, also known as a SPRUCE TRAP, is the space around a tree under its branches that does not get the same amount of snow as the surrounding open space. This creates a void or area of loose snow below the branches and around the trunk that is dangerous to any hikers, snowshoers, skiers, snowboarders, and snowmobilers who fall into them. If someone lands in such a well, often as a result of a fall, it can be too deep for them to climb up the surrounding loose snow before they are buried. Making the situation more dangerous, they often fall into the well head-first and as the result of an accident which could leave them injured or unconscious.

He didn't just seen him. I think he felt that he scraped that guy's snowboard, and noticed it

Exactly what I was thinking! For him to take that same path was nothing short of a miracle.

@@samp6237 he might have seen that the snowboarder was going down a dangerous path and gone to make sure everything went smoothly

And catch it on camera

pure Luck, never go completely alone.

imagine how unrealistic and pure luck was that. i find it hard to believe and i wouldnt be surprise if that was staged.

@@kebub1 I feel like it would be pretty hard to stage the state of burriedness the guy is in.

@@pigger1010 idk maybe. being find in snow like this where barely anyone passes by is like winning on lottery.

@@kebub1 why don't you tell that to the commenter who lost his brother in the main comments 😂 probably didn't feel staged to him.

@@kebub1 well winning the lottery is possible. If youve never had a moment where you had a crazy lucky, one in a lifetime moment, i wonder if you need to get out more. Ive had one in a lifetime experiences that people wouldnt have believed if there werent witnesses or cameras. Lucky one in a lifetime coincidences happen everyday all the time around the world

for a second i thought he said it sarcastically lmao

He was probably in hypothermic shock, or hypoxic.

@@kellypatterson4412 Tell us about that if you don’t mind… I noticed his hands weren’t moving for quite a while.

@@kellypatterson4412 he could have also just been hyped to know he’s not gonna die so he was like “I’m good bro. A moment ago I was gonna die, now I’ve actually got time” lol

@@kellypatterson4412 he couldn’t have been there long enough to be in hypothermic shock. He was insulated and safe from direct contact too.

He's probably terrified of the snow collapsing in again, he knows he's breathing and going to be ok and just doesn't want to get caved in on again, it must be a terrifying position.

I thought it was a "coping humor" sort of thing. Lmao So glad this man found him in time! ❤

pretty sure no1 would be rude when getting saved in a situation like this :D kinda normal response

Pretty sure he said "thank you, kind man"

How do you know that the rescuer was an American?

No pun intended but still funny, haha.

เขาฝึกมาก่อน

And you could tell how relieved the rescuer was at hearing the rescued’s voice - his strong “I’m good”. It’s heartwarming (no pun intended either) to see how they sort of reassured each other by being calm and controlled

This deserves a spotlight, I was going to comment the same thing. It's hard to overstate how great a job he did taking his time and insuring his own safety first as he approached calmly. This could've been much worse, big kudos to him.

Yup, a lot of people would just freeze in these kind of situations (no pun intended), so keeping your composure is a must.

people seem to forget all of this exercise on top of that is at high altitude with thin air. its like wearing a mask basically while trying to run sprints

Yes! Amazing truly

@@soccermastax Nevermind wearing a mask, it’s like wearing a plastic bag over your whole head!

his adrenaline must have been pumping for him to do this.

yea that level of physical activity especially in such an intense situation was borderline superhuman lol

Agree with everything you said except I think he understood the situation the moment he passed him. You may know this already but it is a common danger in that environment called a tree well. The skier is just exhausted from spending his strength to climb up to the boarder. I had to replay the video to see if he was the guy in front of him but he was not. It is a miracle he was seen by the skier.

So lucky the skier literally passed over that burried man

"You all right?" - Followed by no response, seeing the board upside down, then immediately gets to work. You're probably right
