like who needs rescue courses when you just kinda wing it? I mean Francis Zuber was definitely in the right place at the wrong time but let's not give him too much credit for being a hero, he was just lucky that the snowboarder wasn't dead yet. And what about all the other people who were around who could've helped? didn't they see anyone struggling to get out of there? 10 minutes is nothing in this situation, I would've been done with it in like 2 lol 
, you never know when someone's gonna need saving from their own stupidity.
That's like, totally terrifying! But seriously, I think it's awesome that Francis Zuber jumped into action and helped save the dude. It just goes to show that with the right skills and knowledge, we can all make a difference in an emergency situation.
. I mean, why else would someone just happen to be standing there with rescue training, right? Just thinkin' out loud here...
! Like, totally mind blown! But for real tho, kudos to Francis Zuber for savin the day, fam 
! That's what I call bravery and quick thinking. And now everyone should take up rescue courses, it's like, super important to know what to do in case of emergency 
. I mean, who needs lessons when you got a hero like Francis Zuber showin us the way? 
The fact that the rescuers were able to free him after 10 minutes is just, wow! And now we can all learn from this and stay safe on the slopes 
.
it's a good thing Francis Zuber was there to help out. i feel bad for the snowboarder, that had to be super scary 
.
and have some basic knowledge on what to do in case of an emergency.
, he was calm and helped others get involved. kudos to him! 
he's definitely an inspiration for anyone who loves the outdoors. and let this be a lesson to all of us - if you're planning on hitting the slopes, make sure you take those rescue courses or know how to do basic first aid. safety first, folks! 
!
and i love how he's also encouraging others to take up rescue courses now, that's just amazing 
who knows maybe this incident will lead to more people getting trained and prepared for emergency situations? fingers crossed 
I don't think I could've done that, my heart would've been racing the whole time. But seriously, 10 minutes is an eternity when you're stuck upside down in a tree well... I hope he's doing okay now. It's so great to hear that Zuber took charge and helped others learn how to respond in situations like this too - we should all take lessons from him! 
what's the deal with tree wells anyway? are they a thing that can happen at other ski resorts too? 
!

. But at the same time, it's also pretty awe-inspiring when people like Francis Zuber spring into action and save the day 
.
. But just like Zuber, we have the power to choose how we react, to take action and try to save ourselves or others from getting stuck 
10 minute rescue effort sounds like a wild ride to me, hope the guy was okay on the inside
