Ian Deans who is a skier who was the right place at the right time on Friday morning at The Summit at the Snoqualmie ski resort near Seattle Washington when he saw a skier who was trapped in deep snow after the skier fell down and he was trapped upside down.
Ian managed to went to rescue the accident victim by digging the skier out of the snow, clear his airway and free him from the snow safely.
The injured skier did not need any medical help after he was rescued by Ian. I am sure the skier that was rescued by Ian is grateful for his help.
Ian hopes that the skier that he rescued to be careful skiing in deep snow since an error can be harmful or even fatal.

What a photo! I went skiing once in my life after taking lessons. Going down the baby hill with the little kids scared me so much, that I decided that skiing was not for me. Besides, my mother used to tell me that I’d break a leg. She never told me I’d end up like this skier, half buried alive.

Skiing and playing American football were forbidden for me due to the injury factors.

The skier made an error not keeping his balance on the slopes is why he landed upside down in the snow.

His legs where his head should be
It must be hard to breathe when your head is under the snow

Glad the skier was rescued. I am not a skier but one fine winter's day in Minneapolis where the winters are harsh my friends and I were walking about we had come for a Latvian youth conference, Suddenly I slipped and found myself in a pile of snow up to my armpits, It took a while for everyone to help me out of that

I cannot stand snow myself at all since it seldom snows in south Louisiana.

That is scary to be trapped upside down in snow, like that. I bet that he was glad someone came along to rescue him, as otherwise, far more dire consequences might have happened to him.

The skier who was rescued is lucky that Ian was around.
