I was on the this search and it is amazing that they are alive. They got lost in a storm, then stuck a few hundred yards from each other so they spent the three nights alone and it was below zero each night. It had snowed two feet since they went missing so there were no tracks and no way of knowing which direction they had gone.
The DPS chopper came down from SLC on Tuesday night but left Wednesday mid-day because of a storm that was moving in. It was a private chopper who located them in a steep canyon Wed. afternoon.
They didn't have any survival gear or food or water. Neither one built a fire. I'm not kidding, I really thought that we were looking for bodies.
Not only were they ok but they were up and walking around. In fact, after putting gas in his sled (he ran it dry trying to stay warm) and getting it unstuck, he rode it out. It looks like the only injury was severe frostbite on her feet, which considering the temps. is amazing.
This is really an amazing story of survival. I can't believe that the news hasn't paid more attention to it.
