Great story, but also enormous lesson on how dangerous the backcountry can be.
hero
Amazing video so lucky. Heavy powder.🙏👌
That was the hedge of protection from the lord it wasn't ur time bruh count that as a blessing and thank the great father above for ur life that ur here and bless the man that was ur hero who was brave and kind enough to care to help you I'm telling you that was GOD he's GOOD ALL TIME. I would like to say thank father for both men and for the love that the other man had in his heart to help a bro in Christ he didn't even know goes to show there still good ppl here willing to go out their way for someone else for nothing in return but just the good heart they have thank you for your kind loving soul for stopping and helping someone in need we need more like you ur a blessing
Seems fake he just happened to have a camera and shovel on him?
That man's position was really hard to spot since it was blocked by tree. But he's still saw it even in a very bad condition. Guardian Angel are real
Quran 5: 32: “That is why We decreed for the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul, without [its being guilty of] manslaughter or corruption on the earth, is as though he had killed all mankind, and whoever saves a life is as though he had saved all mankind”.
He is supposedly going to follow his buddy but he himself fell into the snow but eventually got himself backed up but then he lost his path and because of that he found this man buried upside down. I truly believed that God intervenes and let the skiing guy lose his way just to find this man being buried alive
The full footage of the rescue is intense and amazing! The skier is an absolute hero!!
He is so lucky is board stuck out of the snow he would be gone if he was totally buried
How do your friends not go back for you when they notice you're gone…
Humanity at it's best
Somebody´s got a prayin´ mama!!!! TYJ!!!
Imagine that snowboard wasn’t visible 😕
Respect
Isn't there a beacon that can detect when it's buried and automatically activate an SOS?
JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS AND MINE AND HE WAS BURIED AND HE ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY THE BIBLE 1ST CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 15 VERSES 1 THROUGH 4 AND JOHN CHAPTER 3 VERSES 16 THROUGH 21 THE BIBLE
PLEASE READ THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELVES
How did this even happen?
He needs to consider his spare life over and quit skiing in these conditions
Imagine if this man went a different way or just didn't pay attention. This is insane amount of luck. Thank God for that man. Truly amazing.
Glad that hes safe. I would recommend an avalanche airbag just incase some unpredictable avalanche scenarios.
Wonder how long Steger was buried for, surprised he didn't suffocate and first thing Zuber did was go straight for his face so he could breathe. Amazing.
Why is this now national news. Ski patrol does this everyday
That was God quiding that skier to that path..THANK GOD 🙏✝️ ❤
Awesome!
can't believe even fake news is reporting on an actual story
How many died in this manner?
How long was he down there before he was found?
Most skiers would have lefr
Me with anxiety and panic attack sees this nightmare come to life.. I know if I were in his shoes I would not survive this.
How long was he buried before Zuber got to him and helped him?
So what his friends didnt try to look for him? Didnt notify anyone? Didnt send a search team? Man this guy needs new friends.
What jaded world do we live in that this wasn't big news all over? I only found out about it through Daily Dose of Internet.
God sent that guy to save him 💖
Fantastic story
Kinkos save the day!!!
