Avalanche survivor Mike Harris shares his incredible story of surviving nearly five hours buried beneath the snow after triggering an avalanche while skiing alone.

In this conversation with Mike and his wife, Penny, we talk about avalanche survival, prayer, faith in God, answered prayer, trusting the Holy Spirit,  his remarkable rescue, and the series of events they believe led to a miracle.

Mike and Penny also share what they both experienced while Mike was trapped beneath the snow and how surviving the avalanche has changed their faith and  life.
