How to Rescue an Avalanche Victim

One minute you're snowmobiling or skiing across a slope with a friend, enjoying the scenery and the crisp mountain air, when suddenly an avalanche tears the ground out from beneath you. You're okay, but your friend is nowhere to be found. If someone is buried in an avalanche, time is of the essence. You must attempt to rescue the victim immediately, because by the time rescuers arrive, it is usually too late.
