Dramatic avalanche rescue

Dramatic body camera video from the Summit County, Colo., Sheriff's Department shows rescuers reaching and rescuing a backcountry snowmobiler buried under an avalanche last Monday.

The snowmobiler was under the snow for about an hour, but an avalanche survival kit and quick action by another snowmobiler and other rescuers saved the person. He was cold, but conscious. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
