Carson Schmidt, a skier from the Sacramento area, was skiing with a friend at Palisades Tahoe on Feb. 18 — just one day after a major storm caused a deadly avalanche in the area — when he came across a man buried in the snow head first. Schmidt captured the moment they rescued him in a now viral video. On Feb. 26, 2026, Schmidt described the rescue to the Sacramento Bee. ✍️: Don Sweeney 📷️: Hector Amezcua, Carson Schmidt
