Hidden in the snow by Natalia Holvova

6 snowmobilers were rescued in Colorado after 3 days missing. Jason Groen, his wife and daughter and one of his employees with wife and son were snowmobiling in southern Colorado mountains when they got lost, ran out of gas and consequently get stacked in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately there was a cabin where they were able to survive out of coldness and snowstorm outside. The area was under the avalanche warning at that time and there was no way to get there even for rescues. Groen could not find a signal for his cell phone in the cabin and it was too cold and too dangerous to go outside until Monday morning when they called and have been rescued. This is a story with happy ending. How many people are not so happy and find their end in the snow every winter? Sportsmen are crazy for adrenalin sports during the winter. Nature is so different, calm and peaceful and the power of avalanches and snow cover is like a magnet that needs to be discovered. We are looking for an adventure and forget about our safety and all the safety measures. Some people are lucky because mountain rescuers risk their lives everyday to find tourists underneath avalanche attack or in the woods where they lost their orientation. We need to realize that this is not a standard for our lives. We need to be careful and keep ourselves protected and safe because once we can lose even a cell phone we are carrying everywhere with us.
