A COUPLE and four young members of their families who had been missing in the frigid mountains of northern Nevada since Sunday have been found, authorities say.
The people were taken to a hospital after they were found in good condition. Sheila Reitz of the Pershing County Sheriff's Office said a member of the public searching on the ground had located the group.
"The mood where I'm at's ecstatic," said Col. Tim Hahn, who commands the Nevada Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, which had six planes searching for the group. "We are thrilled beyond words."
Aircraft and crews on the ground were searching for James Glanton, 34, his girlfriend Christina McIntee, 25, their two children Evan and Chloe Glanton, and Shelby Fitzpatrick and Tate McIntee, a niece and nephew of McIntee's. The children ranged in age from three to 10.
Overnight temperatures in the nearby town of Lovelock dipped to minus 8.9C during the search. Officials said the group had gone to the Seven Troughs area to play in the snow.
Authorities said about 200 people had joined the search roughly 160 kilometres northeast of Reno.
Governor Brian Sandoval tweeted about the discovery.
"Very glad to hear the missing family in Lovelock has been found and they are safe!" he said. "Thank you to all who worked so tirelessly to find them!"
Reitz said a signal from the missing woman's phone initially showed they were in the Seven Troughs area 40 kilometres northwest of Lovelock. After that, the search was expanded to a wider area.
