OMG you guys I just saw the craziest rescue video of this snowboarder who got trapped in a tree well at Mt Baker in WA state but luckily he was saved by this skier Francis Zuber 
he literally dug him out from under all that heavy snow like a total pro! The thing is what impresses me the most is how calm and composed Zuber stayed even though his fellow skier was stuck upside down 
I mean we've seen some crazy rescues before but this one takes the cake! 
oh man i cant even imagine being trapped like that in the snow its so scary but i'm so grateful that Francis was able to save his friend it just goes to show how fast help can arrive when someone knows what they're doing i'm so impressed by Francis's bravery and skill he literally saved a life 
! I mean, can you even imagine being stuck in that situation? Being buried alive in the snow and not being able to move... it's just terrifying 
. But then this skier comes along, sees what's going on, and springs into action! It's like he was born for that moment 
. He knew exactly what to do, and he did it with precision and speed.
! It's a reminder that even when things seem darkest, there are still heroes out there who care and want to help. And it's inspiring people to take up rescue courses so they can be in situations like this too 
. We should all be grateful for people like Francis Zuber who put themselves in harm's way to save others 
It's clear that rescue courses should be mandatory for anyone who loves hitting the slopes, because this is what it's all about - being prepared and knowing how to act in an emergency. I'm definitely going to take some of these skills up myself now... or at least consider taking a course 
. Like, what's the big prize here? The guy was stuck in a tree well, he needed help, and some dude came along and rescued him 
. It's just basic human decency, you know? I mean, if you're gonna get stuck in a life-threatening situation, someone's gotta come save you 
. The guy didn't even have to wait for rescue teams to arrive or anything. He just had one dude show up and go "hey, I've got this" 
.
. It's not like he saved the guy from certain death or anything...he just rescued him because that's what he does
