This is the moment a routine day on the slopes turns into a race against time when a man is discovered buried beneath an avalanche in Switzerland. Footage (above) shows the scene from the point of view of Matteo Zilla as he skis across a seemingly calm mountainside in Engelberg.
Zilla is suddenly stopped in his tracks when something unusual catches his eye in the distance. To his horror, a single arm is poking out from deep, freshly fallen snow. At first, Zilla believed he was heading to help someone who had simply lost their skis, recalling that he had seen a man struggling to walk uphill without them. But in a split second, the situation became clear.
As Zilla later explained: “I saw a guy far away who was trying to walk up without skis, so I thought maybe he had lost them and I went down to help search. “But then I turned my head and saw a foot sticking out of the snow.” Realising the man was completely buried, Matteo sprints towards him, and was able to dig the guy out. Both went down the hill for a couple brandies and a few deep breaths...

Do you like a strong cup of tea? I found this in Belfast a long time ago.
It's the best tea I've ever tasted. Buying it in packs of four boxes
reduces the cost to just 20 cents per cup.
