An avalanche left a skier stranded in an out-of-bounds area of an Alberta ski resort over the weekend — but due to rare cell service, the man was able to call 911 for help.
That call prompted a response from two ski patrols who built the man a shelter and spent the night with him up on the mountain.
Goodhue, along with her colleague Madeline Martin, hiked two hours in steep rocky terrain up the mountain to the man's location. "There's just so many things going through your head that it's pretty hard to go to sleep, but we did stay warm, so that was great."
