My AirPods Pro 2 Survived 4 Days in the Snow – A True Apple Story

To Whom it may concern,

I want to share an incredible story that proves just how resilient your products are. My AirPods Pro 2, purchased in Toronto in January 2023 just before leaving Canada after a working holiday, have been my daily companion ever since.

Fast forward to January 2025, skiing in my favorite Italian resort, Aprica. After a perfect day on the slopes, I misplaced my AirPods near an après-ski bar. Using FindMy, I tracked them to a spot covered by freshly fallen snow – and later flattened by snow groomers. For four days, I searched tirelessly, braving freezing temperatures and deep snow, holding onto hope thanks to the FindMy app.

On the fourth day, something magical happened: the case had shifted, likely pushed by a groomer, and I finally heard their signal! With the help of a ski pole and a kind stranger, I unearthed them. The case is scratched, bent, and punctured – but it still works. And one AirPod continues to play music perfectly.

This story isn’t just about a product; it’s about connection, persistence, and the trust I’ve built in Apple over the years. These AirPods have been through so much with me, and I’ve decided to keep them as a powerful reminder of resilience and persistence. Like my favorite book, they’ve become my own Horcrux – only without the need to split my soul in the process!

I wanted to share this with you as a testament to your innovation and quality. Honestly, I believe it’s the kind of story that deserves a place on your social media – a true celebration of Apple values in action.

Thank you for making such incredible products!
