A woman who was reported missing by her friends after a day of snowboarding at a ski resort in Lake Tahoe was later found to be trapped inside a ski lift gondola overnight as temperatures dropped below freezing.
Monica Laso had opted to ride the gondola down the mountain at Heavenly Ski Resort on Thursday because she was too tired for one more snowboard run.
The gondola stopped just minutes later, leaving Laso trapped in the sky.
She yelled for help, but no one could hear her cries.
She spent 15 hours in the gondola, rubbing her hands and feet together to fight off the cold, before being discovered the following day.
