If your mountain has been getting slammed by this winter's non-stop powder beatings, it may be time to start wearing your beacon inbounds. Seriously.

This veteran snowboarder was almost completely buried in the Squaw Valley inbounds after he landed head first on a botched 30-foot cliff jump. Apparently, he lost his footing on the approach and clipped his back heel on the way off.

Luckily his two feet were sticking out of the snow so his buddy was able to spot him and flag down the help of some other skiers to dig him out.
