With VID

This incredible video captures the tense moment one man rescues a fellow skier who had fallen into deep snow.
Matteo zilla, a 37-year-old creative director, spotted the man whilst skiing in Engelberg, Switzerland on 10/01/26.
He noticed a leg dangling out of the snow and, thanks to his extensive training, was able to pull the man out safely.
Matteo later posted the video online, where viewers were quick to praise his heroic actions.
Matteo said: “We were skiing in Engelberg on a powder day. It was snowing and we received around 40 to 50 centimetres of fresh powder.
"I saw a guy far away who was trying to walk up without skis, so I thought maybe he had lost them and I went down to help search. But then I turned my head and saw a foot sticking out of the snow.
"I immediately went over and removed the snow from his face and mouth, speaking to him to check if he was injured.
"We realised he wasn’t injured and very slowly removed the rest of the snow from his body.
"We found out he had been skiing down, didn’t see some small bushes and flipped over into the snow.
"My emotions were on one side, but they weren’t important. The most important thing was saving his life.”
