This is some helmetcam footage of skier Francis Zuber rescuing a snowboarder trapped in a tree well (aka a spruce trap — the area directly under an evergreen’s branches that doesn’t get as much snow as the surrounding area and creates a pit you can fall into and get buried) while skiing at Mt. Baker in Washington. Francis happened to see the snowboarder’s board sticking out of the snow (and ONLY the board), and quickly springs into action to dig his face out so he could breathe. That’s absolutely terrifying. Also, proof that not all heroes wear capes — apparently some wear skis and mustard colored snow jackets.
