Tree wells are a danger wherever there is fresh snow. Francis Zuber was skiing in Washington when he caught glance of a partially buried snowboard. Ian Steger, a rider from a different group, was buried upside-down and unable to free himself. Francis, trained in avalanche-rescue protocol, sprung into action to clear Ian's airway.
The mountains don't care how much experience you have or how careful you are. Accidents can and will happen-riding with company that is prepared and educated is the best way to stay safe in dangerous terrain. Thank you, GoPro Awards recipient Francis, for showing us what it means to "Be a HERO" 🙏

No question about it, saved his life. Man deserves all the praise coming his way. God even if he could still breathe, the claustrophobia of being in the dark, upside down, unable to move and all alone would be enough to drive anyone into complete panic; the fact that he seemed relatively calm once he was saved is amazing.

This is exactly why they bully you because they're sick of saving your snowboarding clumsy ass.

I see people talk about luck and equipment but let's not forget the fitness required either. If he goes down hill a few more meters it would take significantly longer to get to him and he would have been way more exhausted. Now add a long day of snowboarding to the mix and it could be too late. Glad the rescuer was fit enough, prepared and lucky all at once.

Was he the first rider who went ahead of Francis? Or is this just a random person who was found. Francis you are a hero dude you deserve the award and much more. A mother gets to see her child again. A father his son. A family gets a piece of their family back. Respect.

I'm genuinely wondering how he survived, his face was covered with snow he couldn't breathe Edit: ok the guy that saved him did an interview and apparently there was a small air pocket under there, but he tried to move and it collapsed so maybe cause the snow was really thin? idk

Seems like he resigned to the fact it was over by the way he was so calm. Probably felt the biggest rush of relief and gratefulness. The fact this guy decided to check out a spot he had never saw definitely makes it seem like it was fate for him to find him. Something told him to go that way.
