It鈥檚 not every day you have to dig your friend out of the snow to save his life, but that is what happened this week for a snowboarder in Whistler.
The GoPro footage, captured by Nigel Landon Beaupre, shows him encouraging his friend to jump into the snowbank after he and others do the same.
But when his friend disappears into the mound of snow, Beaupre jumps into action 鈥 first digging out his friend鈥檚 face so he could get air.
