The unamed young skier had been touring the Liardes region of Switzerland when the avalanche hit. His family contacted authorities after they realized he had not returned to his vehicle. Because he shared his route with family members, rescue teams were able to follow the area and locate ski tracks. Afterwards, his hand was spotted flagging the helicopter down.
Teams are calling this rescue miraculous, celebrating his discovery and that he is completely unharmed by the accident.
