The skier was pushed 300 meters down, but miraculously saved his life.
According to the British media Daily Mail, a 50-year-old German man skiing in Mont Blanc Mountain's Machdu Zoong area in the Alps was swept down the mountain after being hit by an avalanche on January 29 (local time).
French skier Leo, who filmed the scene, said he was found about 300 meters below.
The video at the time shows a huge avalanche behind a German man skiing.
He was buried in the snow and found a long way away from being seen.
Leo attributed his life to his avalanche anti-burial backpack.
In the event of an avalanche, this backpack inflates the nitrogen airbag when the string is pulled, absorbing shock and preventing the body from being buried.
In actual videos, he was also seen operating an avalanche burial prevention backpack.
Swept by an avalanche, he was taken to a hospital by a rescue helicopter from the middle of the mountain and is said to be life-threatening.
Meanwhile, on the same day, five skiers from Britain, Norway and Switzerland were killed in two avalanches in the Alps.
