BONNER COUNTY, Idaho A 16-year-old and her father are back home safe after becoming separated in the Cabinet Mountains in Montana thanks to search and rescue volunteers from the Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry area, as reported by KREM 2 news partner the Bonner County Daily Bee.
Ed and Kelly Moellmer were on a father-daughter ski trip in the mountains at Engle Peak, a roughly 90-mile drive from Bonners Ferry. At roughly 100 feet from the summit, Ed said, he planned to take the route of a gentle slope on a southwest face of a peak but became disoriented due to the whiteout.
