Buried under about 10 feet (3 meters) of snow after an avalanche this week at an Idaho ski resort, Bill Fuzak made peace with his predicament and prepared for death.
Fuzak became one of four survivors extricated from Tuesday's avalanche at the Silver Mountain Resort near Kellogg, Idaho.
Fuzak, a skier who lives in the nearby Spokane,
Washington, area, said he was entombed in the snow for about 50 minutes, much longer than most avalanche survivors.
