He also got very lucky to be honest. In the time that he's buried, you can hear his breathing already accelerate. The ruffling noise back and forth is his chest rising and falling and the noise that his jacket makes. The intermittent whimpering noise you hear is him trying to swallow and get some air since the avalung wasn't fully in his mouth and instead just to the corner of his mouth. Still sends chills up the back of my neck. Oh...the luck? They located him so fast because his right glove came off just before he came completley to rest and there was an excellent visual of course.

The Longest 9 min Film You Will Ever See
Snow Skier straps video camera to his helmet - as he heads downhill, the camera catches the snow crumbling into an avalanche, his fall and tumble and then first-hand what it is like to be buried in an avalanche. And what it is like to see your rescuers dig you out.

Aaaaah, yikes!
My husband is a professional skier. He doesn't do THIS stuff, but he would like to (back country helicopter skiing and what-not), but this sort of stuff STRESSES ME OUT! Where do you find this stuff?
I'll have to forward it to my hubby. :)
Oh my word. I commented before I watched the entire video. My response seems light considering how intense that way... that made my stomach churn. Do you know if that guy survived with minimal injuries?
