An IT guy lost his way while snowboarding at Wolf Creek Ski Area in Colorado. After realizing he wasn’t going to make it out that night, he dug a small snowcave in a tree well and nibbled on an energy bar. On day two he rode a bit further down the mountain and happened to come upon a forest service cabin. He broke in and sat around for two days while waiting for the storm to blow over, and on the first day that weather would permit a helicopter search, he was spotted walking out of the cabin. Really a remarkably smart guy once he got lost, but also insanely lucky to bump into that cabin. It’s like on the TV show Lost how characters can’t go for a walk in the jungle without running into someone from their crew. (Sorry for the Lost reference, I just didn’t think stuff like this really happened.)
