I slept through the entire seventh night in one spot, which was 10 steps from over looking the top of the mountain.

"I don't think anybody was not surprised to find him alive." His reserves exhausted and his feet like blocks of ice, he refused to give up. He'll be fitted with prosthetic limbs this spring and begin the long task of learning to walk again. "I survived seven, and there's a reason that I am here. SHERMAN OAKS, UNITED STATES: Eric LeMarque, 34, is followed by his father Philippe Lemarque, mother Susan LeMarque (2R) and stepmother Stella Lemarque (L) as nurse Kelly Rappazzo wheels him back into the Grossman Burn Center at Sherman Oaks Hospital at the end of a press conference 03 March 2004 in Sherman Oaks, CA, The former French national team ice hockey Olympian was rescued … I sleep through the sixth night. That meant he was on the mountain. So I figured I’m going to drink here.

That someone lived five hours away in Los Angeles. Now that I have Christ, I feel alive. Dealing with the loss of his feet and regaining his health was a long process for Eric. He avoided eating snow, which lowers the body temperature dangerously. His endurance helped, but by day five, he ran out of energy. I just found a praise in my heart. I'm going to restore everything that's been broken." "I was too tired." "He's 34." "After Eric drank from the river, he remembered he had a bag of meth. That is why I took my 10 steps. He slept in snow caves he carved for shelter. I feel like I can run. "Susan convinced Eric's father and a friend to go to the authorities in Mammoth. Rescue workers radioed the chopper crew to double check his name, figuring that maybe this guy was a second lost skier. He was on the point of exhaustion and death on what became for him a very lucky Friday the 13th. I'm a person who's achieved worldly dreams and all of those were a shadow without Christ. ""Snowboarding to me became my passion. A big mistake that I made is that I knew that I was riding down into fog. "But in the fog Eric took a wrong turn and headed into the wilderness. It was loud. I’ve got maybe about a mile, a half mile to hike towards Tamarack Lodge. "Eric put his damp clothes back on.

He recalls, "I didn’t sleep a wink. ""The longest anyone had survived had been two nights out in those conditions," he says. For days, no one knew LeMarque was on the mountain. Even after dark that first night he was sanguine. Semiconscious, LaMarque rose to his knees, waving frantically in the air. That decision led him into a living hell he could never have imagined. Then, he went for one last drink. He stayed in his snow shelter for two nights, barely able to move. Susan says, "I knew something was terribly wrong. "I figured it was an adventure," he recounts. LeMarque strapped on his board again and plunged downhill in the darkness, unknowingly speeding further from safety and rescue every minute.He would spend seven nights in the High Sierras last month before he was found alive by a stunned Army National Guard helicopter crew.

In the film 6 Below (released in Australia, 21st February, 2018), Eric’s story is brought to life with an outstanding cast including Josh Hartnett (Pearl Harbour) as LeMarque, and Mira Sorvino (Mothers and Daughters) as his mother, Susan. "I hiked up to a run. Stunned rescue workers were shocked to find him alive. "I slept and I slept in very crude shelter that night. At night he used the edge of his board to shave pine boughs and branches for a bed to keep off the snow. I give up. '"Back in Los Angeles, his mother waited and prayed. He even vows to hit the slopes again. "He should have worried more. Now it was just clear. He made little progress before nightfall. Then finally a breakthrough... Susan says, "Screaming in the phone, 'There's hope! As  it turned out, he sacrificed even more. His cell-phone battery was dead. Eric is now married with two sons. I sat there shivering, and the shivers didn’t end until I was off the mountain.

He built a fire pit and gathered kindling in hopes the ski patrol would see the smoke, but his soggy matches wouldn't light. He would either be saved that day or die.Luckily, rescue efforts had finally geared up. I isolated myself from my family, my friends and did my own thing when I wanted to, how I wanted to, who I wanted to do with and nothing else mattered but me. I went outside, and it was pitch black. He spent most of his life on the ice, with one goal in mind.
