USC Ski & Snowboard - Powder Experience

Chris Farro experiences what it's like to be stuck under the snow and lose air for over 3 minutes after pitching forward off a 35 foot cliff. Matt Cook comes to his rescue as both of these guys learn the some of the very real dangers of deep powder skiing. With over 8 feet of snow in one week at Mammoth, climbing up hill to reach someone is almost impossible.

This is truly an amazing video. I've had experiences like this, but never anything this close. Its terrifies me to think how panicked i was when my friend was stuck up to his head off a 15 foot cliff, and all my bro and i did to get him out was brace ourselves on trees and pull. Chris is a lucky guy to have a friend like you Matt. This video reminded me how important it is to deserve your friends and treat them what their worth - their weight in gold. Truly a powerful, moving video.

[LeadHase]

@sebleton you're a fucking dick. the video is of someones life getting saved. how is he heartless?

[blockfrenzydude]

fuucck dude, so glad he made it out alive. that's true friendship right there

[MatsF10]

@sebleton i can't believe we watched the same video, it wasn't just about near death experience, it showed a loyal friend desperatly trying to help his mate out, and did it. and therefore liking this video has nothing to do with beeing heartless, i like this video, becuase he managed to save his friend.
