This man is a HERO‼️ Francis Zuber ‘s headcam shows him rescuing a snowboarder who was buried head down in deep powder at Mt. Baker, Washington! Luckily, he spotted him as he almost passed him. #skiing #snowboarding
For folks who don’t tune into Fox regularly it can be surprising how coordinated things are. For those who do, it’s impossible to understate how Fox crapping the same thing into your year hour after hour melts your brain.
