A 35-year-old snowboarder went missing for two days at Mountain High Resort during a storm after taking a wrong turn. Despite challenging conditions, he survived by drinking stream water and staying warm under trees. Search efforts involved multiple agencies, and a helicopter eventually spotted his fresh tracks. Rescuers found him waving from a clearing, and upon his rescue, he expressed relief over being found after enduring the cold and fatigue.
"He had been out there for a long time. He was pretty tired, very cold and just happy to be found... He survived, that's all that matters."
"Basically, he was just moving around to try to stay warm and trying not to freeze."
