Where Were Those Missing Snowmobilers?

A group of six snowmobilers are finally back from the wild after spending three days out in deep snow along the Colorado-New Mexico border. They got stuck after running out of gas and took refuge in a small cabin. Luckily, one of the riders was able to dial in help using a cell phone. The gang was rescued soon after.

The six holed up near Osier Station, a pit stop along the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. It's the highest narrow gauge railroad in the US, and at an altitude of over 10,000 feet, you can bet it was cold out there. If you wanna check out the railroad in more comfortable conditions, scenic train rides run start up on May 24.
