I gotta believe this kind of thing happens all the time.
A missing snowboarder who prompted an all-night search at Heavenly Ski Resort was found safe and sound at a Lake Tahoe casino.
OK, maybe not the all-night search part, but the 'Where the hell is my friend? Oh, there he is playing poker,' part.
Rescuers searched throughout the night in snow, wind and avalanche danger. More than 75 people were involved in the search that included two helicopters. The cost is estimated $40,000.
It's gonna take more than a hot streak at the dice tables to erase that one. Next time, pick a meeting place and keep your cell phone on. Full story
