YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A heart-pounding first-person video shows the moment two snowmobilers were buried alive by a fast-moving 300-foot avalanche in Wyoming – with one of the men being rescued just minutes before he says he would have suffocated.

Mason Zak and Jake Dahl were both submerged under up to five feet of snow after an unexpected avalanche caught them off guard during a day out snowmobiling with friends in Star Valley, Wyoming, on Jan. 22.

In a terrifying video recorded by Zak’s camera, which seems to be mounted on his helmet, he first notices that Dahl had tumbled off his snowmobile — and then spots the avalanche coming down the mountain. He desperately screams “Avy!” several times to alert his pals of the danger, before attempting to escape.
