Missing Snowboarders Found Safe In Yosemite

Yosemite, Ca — Three snowboarders, missing since Monday afternoon, have been located by a helicopter spotter near the South Fork of the Merced River.

Officials have not had time to conduct a full assessment of their conditions, but all three were responsive and had no problem getting into the helicopter, according to Park Spokesperson Adrienne Freeman.

A total of 65 Search and Rescue personnel from Yosemite National Park and Mariposa County had been searching the area since late Monday.
