Francis Zuber

On Sunday I like to highlight individuals who we can all admire. We have all heard of dramatic rescues, but this heroic rescue by Francis Zuber has to be near the top of the list.

From vancouverisawesome.com:

A snowboarder is lucky to be alive after a stranger was skiing and rescued him from a tree well in the backcountry of Washington’s Mount Baker.

Francis Zuber, 28 of Bellingham, was enjoying an afternoon skiing with friends when he spotted a snowboard sticking out of the snow. Zuber, who was wearing a GoPro at the time, quickly jumped into action and freed the suffocating snowboarder. The rescue was captured on video.

“I had no idea how long he’d been there for,” he tells Glacier Media in an interview. “I knew I needed to get to them immediately.”

In the video, you can hear Zuber yell, ‘Are you alright?’

Ian Steger, who was stuck in a tree well, managed to move his snowboard slightly. Zuber, who has been skiing for 24 years, had all the right gear for the dramatic rescue.

“The part of the process of getting (to him) was really the scariest ordeal of the whole thing,” he says, noting it was a struggle.

Zuber used his skis to get closer but the snow kept pushing him down.

“I sunk into the snow and realized that me getting to him is going to just be a huge effort. I was really scared I was not going to be able to get to him in time,” says Zuber.

With the clock ticking, he cleared the snow out from in front of him instead of climbing over it and grabbed the snowboard to pull himself up. Out of breath, Zuber dug deeper and deeper to try and get to the trapped man.

“Ah, c’mon,” he can be heard saying in the video. 

Steger tried to remain calm. He had a small air pocket.

He heard his friends on his walkie-talking trying to talk to him but realized they weren’t able to locate him. 

At one point, a large section of snow falls on top of Zuber as he says, “Are you alright? Can you hear me?”

After digging for more than a minute, he finally finds Steger’s face. 

“Once I got to him, there was a little bit of relief because he was still moving. I knew that he was going to be OK, and that I would be able to dig him out,” recalls Zuber, who estimates Steger was trapped head-first for five to seven minutes.

“It probably felt like a lifetime for him.” 

Once Zuber reached Steger, he told him they were both going to catch their breaths. He then pulled out a shovel to clear the rest of the snow.

“I cleared enough around him, had him grab onto my arm and pulled him out,” says Zuber. “The first thing I did was just give him a big hug.”

The video is dramatic and very impressive., and thus is recommended to all.

Francis Zuber is indeed a modern day hero!
