Two Sacramento skiers chasing fresh powder spotted ski tips sticking straight out of the snow. Carson Schmidt said he and his friend initially didn't know why they stopped, but they are glad they did.
In a video taken by Schmidt, you can hear the man gasping for air under the snow. The Sacramento skiers dig for his head first, desperate to clear his airway.
At least four feet of snow, they say, was weighing him down. His arm was already limp.
"I hope my post brings awareness to the skiing community to ski with a friend," Schmidt said. "You never know where you're going to be."
Palisades Tahoe said in a statement to CBS News Sacramento on Thursday that it was never aware of the incident because it wasn't reported.
The Palisades Tahoe rescue happened amid a deadly stretch for skiers in the Lake Tahoe region this February. The day before, an avalanche just north in the area of Castle Peak claimed the lives of nine backcountry skiers. Other ski-related deaths occurred at Tahoe-area resorts, including Northstar and Heavenly.
