Fox News
A skier who was partially buried following an avalanche in Neffs Canyon outside of Salt Lake City, Utah, has been rescued after an off-duty firefighter heard his cries for help.
"He was buried up to his chest for about 45 minutes," Cutler told reporters at the scene. "As he was yelling for help, to his luck, there was a Unified firefighter, an EMT, who was out in the area recreating and heard his cries for help and was able to respond and dig him out." Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
Cutler said the avalanche was about 200 feet wide and 1.5 to three feet deep.
