CRAIG, COLO. (AP) --Three teenagers stuck for a night in a blizzard survived by burning what they could, including their snowmobile.
The three teens got stuck in the Routt National Forest during a snowmobiling trip.
According to KUSA-TV, Justin McAlexander, Jessie Burke and Mason Burke got stranded on Sunday. They were supposed to return home by 5 that evening, but their snowmobiles got caught in 2 to 3 feet of snow.
Crews finally reached the three boys at about 8 a.m. Monday, about 15 hours after a search began.
Two of the youths were treated for minor injuries and sent home.
