A couple of hut skiers lost their way on the seven-mile trek between shelters and had to spend the night outside. Instead of setting up camping and moving on in the morning, the two lost Hawaiians called 911 and spent a night huddled under a tree until an Army National Guard helicopter could pluck [...]
