"Surviving a California Avalanche: One Woman's Harrowing Tale"

Jason Parker, a 52-year-old man caught in the deadly avalanche at Palisades Tahoe, credits a snowboarder named Luke and others with saving his life. He estimates he was buried in snow for up to eight minutes and had been starting to lose consciousness before the rescue. Despite being an experienced skier with avalanche training, Parker emphasized the importance of being prepared when out on the slopes and suggested that a beacon would have been helpful in his situation.
