Washington skier buried in avalanche is rescued after wife uses phone app to track him

A skier buried for hours in an avalanche in Washington State last week was saved after his wife followed her feeling that something was wrong when he failed to answer his phone.

Michael Harris was skiing Big Chief Bowl at Stevens Pass when he was caught in the slide.

Harris told FOX13 Seattle that his skis got caught between two slabs, and he was unable to fight against the force of the slide. He said he avoided a boulder and described sliding into a snow hole that allowed him to stay upright despite being completely buried.
