Snowboarder Survives 30 Minutes Buried

by The Editors on April 2, 2011

Snowboarder Danny Ferrari, 42, spent 30 minutes buried after he and a friend triggered an avalanche at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area on Friday, April 1, 2011.

“As it’s all going down, I’m just trying to get back on my board to try and stabilize myself so I don’t get washed into a tree or something and it was just out of my control. [I] tried to fight it the whole time and keep my face covered, and I though it was lights out. I mean, what can I say? I hit like six trees, must have traveled 500 yards, and I was able to get my right up just enough to get enough [space in front of my face] so I could breathe. And then I saw some light,” Ferrari told 9NEWS.

While it must have seemed like a long slide, responders reported that the snowboarder probably slid about 400 feet. Ferrari and his friends are very Lucky.

Danny is a giant kook and with his amazing “experience” he should have known to not be out there. What a fucking retard!
