GILPIN COUNTY, Colo. — A Gilpin County man's neighbors are lending a helping hand after he was trapped in shoulder-deep snow for 10 hours during Thursday's snowstorm.
"I was going to try and make it to my neighbor's ranch down the hill, which I estimated to be maybe a half mile or so," said Wilson. “I didn't estimate that the snow would be up to my shoulders.” The Alpine Rescue Team struggled through tough conditions to find Wilson. Volunteers had to trudge through the snow on skis after their snowmobiles were stuck in the snow.Rescuers reached Wilson right as his phone died and took him to Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge, where he was treated for hypothermia. He was released Friday afternoon.
