A snowboarder at California's Heavenly Mountain Resort was stranded in a ski gondola for 15 hours after it unexpectedly stopped. Monica Laso, who didn't have her phone or any light source, spent the night in freezing temperatures by rubbing her hands and feet together to stay warm.
According to People, her cries for help went unanswered, and she was eventually reported missing by her friends. The resort is investigating the incident, and Laso was treated and released after the gondola resumed operation the next morning.
This was the first incident of its kind for South Lake Tahoe Fire and Rescue in over 20 years.
