Washington skier buried in avalanche is rescued after wife uses phone app to track him

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 13:25:00 -0500

A skier buried for hours in an avalanche in Washington State last week was saved after his wife followed her feeling that something was wrong when he failed to answer his phone.

Michael Harris was skiing Big Chief Bowl at Stevens Pass when he was caught in the slide.

Harris told FOX13 Seattle that his skis got caught between two slabs, and he was unable to fight against the force of the slide. He said he avoided a boulder and described sliding into a snow hole that allowed him to stay upright despite being completely buried.

"The sensation was being encased in cement," Harris said.

At some point, he said, his wife Penny called him, but the compact snow made it impossible for him to move his hands to access his Apple Watch or the iPhone in his jacket pocket.

"I’m a religious guy. I said God, I’m in trouble, I don’t know if anyone is going to know where I’m at, but I can’t get out of this on my own," he said.

When he failed to answer, Penny Harris felt the urge to check his location through the Find My iPhone app, she told the outlet.

"You get a feeling something’s just not right," she said. "I followed my intuition, saw his location, checked it a couple times and saw it wasn’t moving."

Penny Harris said she then called the ski patrol and drove to Stevens Pass. Rescuers used the location tracked by the app to find Harris buried beneath several feet of snow.

Harris was rushed to a hospital for hypothermia, pneumonia, a contusion to his lung, injuries to his kidneys and a right tibial plateau fracture, his family said in a post on GoFundMe created to help with the medical bills.

He underwent surgery and is making a smooth recovery, becoming known around the hospital as "the miracle avalanche man," his family said.

Harris credits his wife and the phone app for saving his life.

"I was inches away from the thing that could save my life, but I just couldn’t get there. And yet because she knew how to use 'Find My iPhone', I’m here today," he told FOX13.

A wild brawl broke out last weekend during a Christmas celebration on Nantucket island in Massachusetts.

The melee, which was caught on video, occurred Saturday on Federal Street during the 51st Nantucket Christmas Stroll, the Nantucket Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital.

Hundreds of people had gathered in the area to watch the arrival of Santa Claus in the wealthy enclave.

In video footage, a group of men ranging in age from their 20s to their 60s can be seen arguing and shoving one another in the middle of the street.

The groups eventually split into two. In one group, two older men are seen shoving each other.

In another, a younger man is seen pushing another individual. Someone then jumps on the back of the assailant, who is thrown to the ground.

A full brawl then breaks out as several people are seen throwing haymakers at one another.

"It was kind of like the Jets and the Sharks from ‘West Side Story,’ only in Ralph Lauren and Burberry," a witness told KISS108, referring to the two gangs in the musical. "It was 20-somethings versus, like, 60-somethings."

"It was crazy," she added. "It was mayhem."

It was unclear what prompted the street fight.

Officers with the Nantucket Police Department responded to the scene at around 2 p.m., but no arrests have been made.
