A snowboarder in Lake Tahoe spent 15 hours in freezing temperatures while trapped overnight inside a ski lift gondola.
KCRA reports that Monica Laso was snowboarding with friends at Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe, California, when she decided to go down the mountain early. Laso boarded a gondola around 4:58 p.m., but was stranded without a phone two minutes later when the gondola stopped.
"I didn't have a phone, a light or anything," Laso told KCRA. "I screamed desperately until I lost my voice."
Laso's friends subsequently reported her missing to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office. “We were going crazy, no one knew anything between the police and security,” Laso's friend, Momo Shternhel, told the Tahoe Daily Tribune.
She wasn't discovered until Friday morning, when the gondola started up again for the day and crews realized she'd been there overnight. The South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue then received a call about a woman suffering from cold exposure at Heavenly Mountain Resort.
Laso declined to be hospitalized despite her condition. Meanwhile, the resort is currently looking into how Laso got stranded without the resort workers' knowledge.
“The resort is investigating this situation with the utmost seriousness,” resort vice president Tom Fortune told KCRA. "The safety and wellbeing of our guests is our top priority at Heavenly Mountain Resort."

Probably the one time in the last 15 years when she’s been without her phone for more than 5 min.

I'll save them the time. The employees were stoned.
Investigation over.

That is pretty interesting. The mountain closes at 4pm, she got on a full 58 mins after that. The lifts run for some time after close, but not a hour after close.
I almost feel like she snuck on after they sent down the last one.

Why you only take the lift up not down

Bets the hell out of spending a night on a chair lift.

Did she at least get the first run down on fresh powder? I mean, if she put up with all of that, I hope they let her snowboard down. Of course, if her lift ticket was expired as a one day only, they probably didn't

I hiked 6 miles up that trail in the summer at Heavenly and they made us hike our arse back down the full 6 miles when we were 0.2 miles from the lift. All due to a thunder storm. We did 12 miles expecting to do 6 this girl broke some rules.

I just told my wife this story and referenced that we rode this gondola before. She swears she’s never ridden it with me. I would currently prefer to be in that gondola than in this house.
