Helmet Cam Captures Skier Buried in Avalanche, Then Rescued 4 Minutes Later


This video was shot in April 2008 in Haines, AK. You can't tell from the video but the skier was dragged 1500 feet in just 20 seconds. Luckily for him his right glove came off just before he was covered which allowed rescuers to find him in just four and half minutes which actually is quite fast.
