Dad and His Son Go Skiing — What Happens Next Is the Most Frightening Thing a Parent Could Imagine

Winston Goss and son Ethan were skiing together when Winston faced his most frightening parenting moment ever: Ethan disappeared from view after a jump, and his screams — though muffled — could just be heard in the dead silence on the mountain. Winston managed to capture the entire near-death experience on video and posted it to Facebook to educate people about tree wells (the space under a tree around the trunk that's void of snow, but has high drifts around it) and the dangers skiers face every day because of them. Luckily for this father-son duo, because they were skiing together and Winston saw Ethan disappear, he was able to pull Ethan out of the snow that he was wedged in.

Watch the video to see Winston save the day in what could have been a truly tragic moment.
