Being present can’t get any more present today. A seemingly calm run down a Swiss mountainside turned into a real‑time rescue when a skier suddenly spotted an arm sticking out of the snow—and instantly dropped into hero mode.
The winter warrior frantically shoveled through the heavy powder to reach the buried victim, who had been swallowed by an avalanche moments earlier. According to accounts, the living X‑Men of the slopes stayed remarkably calm and composed under pressure, moving with instinct instead of panic as they dug, cleared, and called out to the trapped rider.
The astounding footage—captured by social media recorder Matteo Zilla—shows the scary scene from his point of view as he skis across what looks like a peaceful mountainside in Engelberg. One second, it’s just another smooth descent; the next, his camera catches that lone arm breaking through the snow, turning a casual run into a race against time.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
From there, the clip becomes a tense, breath‑holding watch as the skier hacks away at the snowpack, revealing more of the victim and checking for signs of life. It’s a stark reminder that avalanches don’t always look like movie‑style walls of white—sometimes the only clue is a glove, a sleeve, or a hand reaching out for help.
Avalanches flip the script fast, and this POV rescue proves it in seconds — comment below.
