Hiker Rescued in Rocky Mountains Snowstorm Wearing Cotton Hoodie

A hiker in the Colorado Rockies was rescued after searchers followed footprints in the snow to find them "alive but very hypothermic." The hiker was unprepared for the conditions, wearing only a cotton hoodie and lacking food and water. As darkness approached, the hiker decided to descend an avalanche chute to reach a road. Search and rescue teams located the hiker after spotting footprints in the snow and discovered them covered in snow but alive. Rescuers spent three hours warming the hiker before safely bringing them down the slope.
