Skier's helmet captures terrifying downhill burial

UTAH -- A terrifying near-death experience caught on helmet cam shows the intense moments a skier was buried under a heap of snow.

The competitive skier was swept under an avalanche in Utah over the weekend.

The camera kept rolling as he tumbled nearly 200 feet down the slope.

When he landed, he was completely buried and unable to move.

His panicked friends rushed to dig him out, and fortunately, it took just over one terrifying minute to reach him.
