Snowboarder Danny Ferrari of Frisco was swept up in an avalanche earlier this month -- and lived. He and his friend, Nate Purcell, were filming runs in a back country area known as Devil's Tool, near Arapahoe Basin. Keep this in mind: Fewer than a third of avalanche victims buried for more than half an hour survive. Ferrari was in there for 45 minutes. Ryan Warner speaks with Ferrari.
