A Rich Woman Abandoned This Apartment In 1942. What They Just Found Inside Is Incredible.

It was a cold night for two skiers Saturday. A 28-year-old man and 22-year-old woman spent the night in the Evening Ridge-Hummingbird pass back country area near Whitewater Ski Resort.
Corporal Michael Stefani says the pair reportedly took a wrong turn, then once they realized their mistake they retraced their tracks.
Nelson Search and Rescue was deployed.
Fortunately the two walked out of the backcountry around 6:30am Sunday morning without injuries.
