Dramatic footage has emerged from France of a skier passing his friend stranded on the snow without noticing him.<br /><br />The video, shot on January 23 in Chamonix with a GoPro camera, captures the moment Richard Westenra skis close to his friend who is lying on the ground to the left in precarious circumstances. <br /><br />''I lost my buddy while skiing in Chamonix and found him when I checked the GoPro footage,'' the filmer later wrote online.<br /><br />''He's fine! He banged his knee a little, but was otherwise okay: He landed in a snowy patch between the rocks,'' he added.<br /><br />Music: Fearless First, Kevin Macleod.
