Brock Crouch is lucky to be alive. The pro snowboarder/surfer experienced a fall that would likely have killed or severely injured most– but instead, Crouch will get to walk away from the ordeal without one visit to the operating room.
In the touching Instagram post above, Crouch says he owes his life to the experienced backcountry partners as well as pilot that were in the mountains with him at the time of the accident.
