I'll admit I'm not a great skier.  I've tried numerous times, most ending in wipeouts not seen since the opening sequence of Wide World Of Sports.  But the thought of skiing and snowboarding has always appealed to me.  Being out in nature, just you and the fresh snow.  Add in the rush of flying down a hill or mountain and it's understandable why the sport is so popular.  But now imagine you're out on a hill all alone, and you find yourself in the middle of an avalanche.  What do you do?  It's what one snowboarder went though recently.  His Go Pro camera recorded the whole thing.  This young man is lucky to be alive!
