MacGyver (1985)

S2E16 Out in the Cold

While MacGyver and Pete are out skiing, a stranger swaps ski poles with MacGyver just before being shot by his old associates. The gunfire triggers an avalanche that buries MacGyver entirely, leading Pete to urgently persuade the mountain rangers to launch a rescue operation before another avalanche strikes. Once MacGyver is finally unearthed, he finds the gangsters waiting for him, eager to get their hands on whatever secrets are concealed within that ski pole.
