Mountain rescuers frantically dig to save man buried under snow after deadly avalanche kills two

This is the incredible moment a team of rescuers dig in the snow to save a man buried underneath a deadly avalanche.



The snowmobiler was miraculously dug out alive with four others - but two other people were not so lucky and were killed in the accident.



Tragically, the footage also show the bodies of two male Russian tourists, aged 35 and 42, laying on the snow.



A group of seven were buried under a wave of rolling snow in the remote Khakassia region of southern Siberia.



One of the survivors has told how he took his final breath and prepared to die when he suddenly saw a flicker of light and realised rescuers had found him.



The victim was close to death, breathing hard and moaning as he was gradually uncovered.



An unnamed survivor gave a dramatic account of how he had given up hope of living at the moment he was found by rescuers.
