Fucking dude is baller

i dont get it, was he being sarcastic or not

@@click_cryo2659 I really hope note and highly fucking doubt it. lmfao

No he was not being sarcastic lol. The skier was basically on the brink of collapsing because just dug 6 feet of snow in like 30 seconds. Snowboarding was just telling him he's good now and no rush on freeing him

​@@click_cryo2659 he was 100% not sarcastic. He was just so grateful to get basically his life back.

Wild, if he wasn’t grateful for what he’s got before he damn well is now

His next meal was probably the best thing he ever tasted

@@beltempest4448they became best friends, regularly hanging out and going skiing/snowboarding together (from a news source I can’t quote)

I’ve had a similar experience when I was almost attacked by a shark while swimming when I was 13 only to have my brother’s friend (16) suddenly grab me and swim me all the way back to shore. It’s an incredibly calming feeling, he was a faster swimmer at the time so just feeling myself get pulled away from certain danger cannot be described.

His next Beer too​@@GabrielFerreira-ot8cg

lol, as he left his buddy, who went and got stuck in a tree well, it's a never ending cycle!

This makes no sense, you see his buddy??😅

@@larsmalsbender7472 The guy in red in the beginning of the video was the skiers buddy. The joke is that he went and got stuck in a tree well, leading to someone else abandoning their buddy to rescue him, etc.

The snowboarder's friends were already down the hill and they were radioing wondering where he was. But cause the radio was in his pocket when he fell into the tree well, he couldn't radio for help. It just so happened that the skier turned around and only spotted his board, that let him know the guy was in trouble.

I dont have any friends tho

Even if they’re French?

When you cling onto someone convulsing and struggling for their very life, and you softly repeat those words.... I genuinely don't even have the words to describe the emotion. In that moment you literally join souls. It's a promise on all that's holy, before all the gods that ever were, that no force on earth will drag you away from them. 14 years as a supervisor in disability services I've had to do this several times for my guys. I don't think the fear leaves them, but the courage those words give helps them fight. "I've got you, look at me, c'mon mate it's ok I've got you" The most powerful sentence I've ever spoken, and the most painful. You are not promising to save them, you can't make that promise. you are taking an oath that you will not abandon them no matter what. I burned out and resigned in 2011. To this day I can still see the looks in their eyes. The fear, desperation and begging.....and to see that look change as you say those magic words. And YOUR fear skyrockets as you pray you're telling them the truth when you reassure them they'll make it.

@@kurdaitcha3509 literally cried reading this. So well said

@@doingmybest222 powerful stuff

@@miroslavmilan That would be a combo like “je t'ai eu ça va aller” (I got you, it’s gonna be ok)

I was thinking he was stupid to go through thick trees but I agree. he was meant to be there.

Absolutely

Give me a break, people praising divine intervention only when it suits the narrative. Why did he fall into that tree well in the first place? Divine intervention as well?

​@@noteda6361They not ready for that conversation 😂

If I saw someo e trapped I would leave them to d1e... Because Everything is the will of God... So IF I have thoughts of leaving them , this is simultaneously Gods thoughts and desire to leave them also.. But I would be like "oh hi I see you.. But.. Im not going to help" lol

Thanks. I was wondering

Thanks for sharing that information. I have never been skiing so I had no idea.

Thank you. I was wondering. Im in utah, the last few weeks we have been dumped on with snow. Hes so buried, I was trying to figure it oug

Or they’re friends and playing around pretending the one stumbled around and came across a trapped stranger.

I would hsve said "hi" (to give them a moment of hope) before abandoning them and leaving them to dle..lol

@@rammingspeed5217 even if this was a troll, wtf kind of humor do you have sheesh

@@nope5397 im not trolling..or joking.. Im serious Im a misanthrope.. As a result of too much pain and suffering at the hands of my fellow man.

@@nope5397 I want others to feel abandoned the way I feel rejected and abandoned

​@@rammingspeed5217 actually the only thing you want is attention

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and explaining it to those of us who have never gone skiing.

Yes, big thanks !

Can't you feel your way to the tree trunk and use it to support yourself up? Also how was this guy being rescued breathing under that pile of snow? How would he suffocate if not rescued then? Does air seep in slowly but not fast enough to sustain your oxygen requirement? The guy being rescued in the video seemed fine and wasn't gasping for air.

Was this staged? If not why did the video end so soon ?

​@@Grejegando Snow is too compact (and heavy) too let you move when you're buried that deep and upside down. As for suffocating, maybe air got to him slowly as you said or a pocket of air was created allowing him some room to breath but eventually he'd run out of oxygen. Who knows, maybe he could've lasted several more minutes or hour, but eventually if nobody gets him out of there, things other than suffocating will get him as well

It's called adrenaline. We all have it.

Everyone has 10 min of adrenaline

that was 99% adrenaline and insticts.

@@JustAnotherConspiracyTheorist yeah definitely it. After he realized he had scoop, he pulled out but he first got panicked AF and digged the hole by hand.

The were on good morning America together! It's a cool interview. He had been buried for about 5 minutes and was realizing he was 100% going to die when he felt the skier grabbing his board to let him know he was there. He couldn't hear anything until his head got uncovered.

I would have left him... Just in case I got sued helping

@@rammingspeed5217 oooo so edgy

@@greenmt1100 im not trying to be Edgy

@@greenmt1100 im a misanthrope.. As a result of a life of pain... Rejection

He didn't see any tracks going forward where the snowboarder was going so he knew he was behind him somewhere. He was smart and brave!

He saw the board as he went past. That’s why he stopped

@@Shadow-ir2yr Yep. I thought the same thing. You can hear him say "whoa" cause he saw the board sticking out of the snow.

@@Shadow-ir2yr I swear people are blind 😂 and dude has 40+ likes

His buddy in the red jacket DID ski right past.

yeh they can be dangerous on a snowmobile to. and even though most get away unharmed... pulling the snowmobile out of a tree well is hard work!

ABC 11 did an interview they were with friends, but they ended up getting too far ahead of him

He was nervous to find somone in alot worse condition under there honestly I feel that tho cuz I nvr wanna find somone too late I'd just get sick. The feet moving Def put some pep in his step and showed urgency. Tracing the body to find his head, amazing fr

I guess you and I have different opinions on what a miracle is.

Yea your mom said that last night

Dude road right over that guy. Would've been blind not to notice since he was following right behind. If he kept going I think it would have been negligent homicide to say the least. No miracle just being a decent guy.

That wasn't a miracle. It was a man being a selfless hero. Saying it was a miracle detracts from this man's bravery.

It was a miracle because he fell a few feet away which slowed his speed and progress enough to be able to notice a snowboard and also allow him to turn back to help before continuing downhill

That's how the Lord works... Just looks like coincidence.

@@TheHolyGhost777 True. But when the person doesn't get rescued, what is at work?

@@-108- its still Lord, kind of a dumb question

@@-108- god giveth and god taketh

@@butternutsson9403 Yup, even though many more people may have been praying for the one who got took away, and they may have been a much better person in every way. So what does that tell ya?

I watched it sitting at edge of my bed squeezing my hands together Intense to watch wow 😢

Not many slopes in denver. Is he skiing down Colfax? 😂

@@christopher2206 I don't know where he snowboards.

IF everything is Gods will then If I saw a trapped person, I WOULDN'T help and leave them to d13 a slow de ath.. Now IF you say that isn't Gods will then you are admitting things happen without Gods control... Meaning Gid is not all knowing, present or omniscient... Meaning God DOESN'T exist(since God, by definition, = THE ALL).. IF God does not=THE ALL then, logically THE ALL= God +(something else that God has no control over).

@rammingspeed5217 We don't know what God has planned unless he's told us in the Bible. All I can say is Romans 8:28

So sorry!

Agree!

Amen

I believe he was just lucky. Some people are not so lucky and they die. This guy was lucky and survived. God had no hand in it whatsoever.

@@thatguyjoe007 oke? Just like you where lucky to be born and live and other sperm cells did not right? Or you where lucky to be born in the USA and others where not. And keep thinking to all aspects of life like that depriving it from all Devine grace or meaning. So you and others you teach this can be just as hopeless and miserable as a fallen man's heart can let him be. Repent and believe on Christ He is mercyfull and hears you when you truly call on His name Jesus and need him. Truly Shalom and God bless you mind.

@@holyresolution Isn't it interesting though, how people will claim divine intervention when the person survives but never blame God when the person dies? What happened to the young girl who died in a house fire? Why did God not do something? But this guy was saved by another skier and so God played a hand in his survival.

Not seeing any tracks in front isn't a miracle, it's basic reasoning skills.

@@Rem694u2 There are too many "ifs" for you to be so snotty. They weren't skying together, there was no reason for the skier to watch for the guy. He could have gone anywhere. He was a snowboarder, he could have made a jump leaving no tracks behind. And, just because he didn't see tracks doesn't change that he could have gone right past the guy, he was hidden behind the trees, the small shelf of snow that fell away and buried the kid was wide. He could have been anywhere. It was a blessing from God that the skier was there.

@@christiroseify You are a real piece of work if you don't look out for the people around you when doing extreme sports. I suggest you stay planted firmly on your couch.

@@christiroseify amen! Some people just aren’t happy unless everyone else is as miserable as they are.

😊

Did god put the other guy in the snow then? Also, what about free will?

Yeah don't thank god bud, thank chance.

Did God Almighty allow the tree well to form in the first place? How about the guy get buried face first? The big guy played no role in any of that?

​@@broheme8922 You're in denial dude. I was in your boat too, but God is real. The only way you will find him is if you humble yourself.

@@SgtTeddybear66 What a great answer to my questions - so full of logic and insight. I used to hesitate pointing out the absurdity of believing in some all-knowing, omnipotent being, because you folks seem to get a lot of comfort from the fantasy. But I've come to learn that the delusion is almost always impregnable, so I don't have to pretend along with you. So enjoy. (But please don't call for killing in his/its name, OK?)

Bro Hemme, you may not believe for sure! But if you were trapped in the snow, I'm sure you're you'd hope that someone, anyone would stop to help you out knowing how impossible the chances were that anyone would even notice! Then you hear someone digging above your head. And of all the miracles in life, you live to tell about it! I'd rather believe in the God of miracles than live in denial any and every day! And to tell you the truth, I've seen quite a few! May this God of miracles bless your with faith!

@@deb9784 You're free to believe in whatever you want. You can ignore any data or facts that you wish, you can abandon loigc and you can adopt any fantasy you wish. I'll pass.

Actually it was a strange passing by. Nothing miraculous about it.

Actually, KZfaqCensorsMe, there is a well-vetted Book that says It is, It was, It will always be Divine intervention that brings a strong, compassionate stranger at just the right moment.....or doesn't. When God shows mercy, may we all be given the eyes to see and a heart to give thanks.

Definitely. Thank the Lord!

You mean the same God that made him end up buried in the snow? LOL

@@PianoTeach88 That book was written by man, and edited by man. It isn't, and cannot be, vetted. The entire belief is based on faith, which means having to believe it without any direct evidence.

Recently seen an article of them shredding together

Around trees theres often pockets of air in heavy layers of snow. If you fall in on of them (I assume he faceplanted and did half a frontflip) youll be buried despite your best efforts

@@sliceoflife5812 thanks.

​@@sliceoflife5812 Yep. Been there. It sucked. I wasn't buried as bad as him and had a bit of an air pocket next to the tree trunk, but it was still unsettling to say the least.

They are called tree wells and obviously no joke.

Tree well, renown death traps.

Ikr, I feel like I need some kind of closure after a video like this, like the two of them down at the base of the mountain, enjoying a hot drink together or something. 😅😂😊

That is where he stopped the filming. They do meet up with each other later on and they even come on Zoom calls with news outlets

He was following the tracks, saw the board and then how the boarder’s tracks had ended. This skier was experienced and carrying all the right equipment too. ✌🏻💜🇨🇦

@@Canadiangirl4922 Facts.

Don't praise some random bearded dude on a cloud! Praise this guy for saving him!

😂

Hahah

This can happen on any ski hill where there are trees. That’s why there are always warnings to people who choose to go off-piste (off the marked runs). Of course it is worse when there is a heavy snowfall as well. ✌🏻💜🇨🇦

I won't judge a man in that situation when he doesn't know if the buried man is minutes from death and there's no one else to help rescue him. Some times we can choose to keep our thoughts on such a matter to ourselves without offending our Creator.

@@teslinjoe5938 I hear you. But I had a very similar situation happen with me years ago on Mt. Bachelor and I was praying out loud, "God, please give me the strength to save this gal". But I understand folks say things in the heat of the moment that they wouldn't normally say.

5:00

My adrenaline shot up watching him trying to climb back up but had barely anything to grab onto.
