He turned to see an “eight foot wall of snow” roaring down the mountain behind him ― a snow “tsunami.”It “hit us in about a second,” Huck told ABC7-TV Saturday. “I was conscious for about 45 seconds while I was under the snow at first, then I kind of ran out of oxygen and passed out,” said Huck. Meanwhile, his wife managed to free herself from the snow. Evan’s snowboard tip was sticking out of the snow and nearby skiers immediately began digging for him in a rescue that was captured in a video and posted on Twitter. As soon as his face was uncovered, “he opened his eyes and looked right at me and said, ‘Where’s my wife?’” skier Joe Breault told ABC7.
