RENO — Search and rescue crews have rescued a couple who got lost while snowshoeing in whiteout conditions at Mount Rose in western Nevada.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports the couple, in their 60s, were reported to be in good condition on Monday.
They called 911 from the ski area Sunday after realizing they were lost.
Washoe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Bob Harmon says crews responded with search dogs and found the couple about two hours after they called.
Harmon urged residents to check the weather before venturing into the wilderness and to call for help if they get lost.
