Rescuers used the location tracked by the app to find Harris buried beneath several feet of snow.Harris was rushed to a hospital for hypothermia, pneumonia, a contusion to his lung, injuries to his kidneys and a right tibial plateau fracture, his family said in a post on GoFundMe created to help with the medical bills.He underwent surgery and is making a smooth recovery, becoming known around the hospital as "the miracle avalanche man," his family said.Harris credits his wife and the phone app for saving his life."I was inches away from the thing that could save my life, but I just couldn’t get there. And yet because she knew how to use 'Find My iPhone', I’m here today," he told FOX13.
