lost skier

Lost skier dances all night

LAYTON, UTAH, USA

Soon she gets lost.  She yells for help, but no one hears her.

Karen is frozen still but all right.

She spends Christmas day in a hot tub.

Night comes, and the temperature falls below freezing.  Karen is scared to death and very cold.

The next morning, a helicopter begins to look for Karen.  After 18 hours in the cold, she is rescued in the nick of time.

By mistake, she begins to ski off the trail. 

But she keeps her head. She plays music in her mind and dances all night long to stay warm.  She dances to disco songs, pop songs, and Christmas songs.  “It was either dance or die,” she said.  “I kept on dancing.  I didn't give up.”

It’s the day before Christmas. Karen Hartley, 33, is skiing by herself at Powder Mountain in Utah.
