A very close call when a rider became stuck on a slope and a second rider climbed up the slope and fell off his machine. He don't even know it was coming until he was carried down the hill. First rider was not involved but the second rider was mostly buried with an arm exposed and part of his helmet. Other riders were able to quickly get the snow pulled away from his face so he could breath and quickly dig him out. Watch the YouTube video for further details.
