Two stranded snowmobilers are fine after spending Friday night on Rabbit Ears Pass.

Routt County Search and Rescue incident commander Kristia Check-Hill said she received a call early Friday evening to help rescuers from Jackson County. Two snowmobilers had called 911 after getting stuck in a meadow northeast of the Rabbit Ears rock formation.

Rescuers from Routt County joined the search at 5 a.m. after overnight search efforts were unsuccessful. A team from Jackson County reached the Front Range snowmobilers by about 7:30 a.m. Saturday.
