Big up to Alex Theaker aka Avalanche Alex for communicating his incredible story of avalanche survival through rapping. The 28-year-old Crested Butte maintenance man was shoveling when he was completely buried in a roof avalanche and was found 2.5 hours later alive with a core temperature of 86 degrees. Emergency crews found Theaker unconscious and hypothermic with a “basketball-sized” airspace near his face created by a bent arm which saved his life (that and Tupac’s greatest hits). Keep up the rhymes Alex!
