Colorado ? Six snowmobilers missing in the mountains for 2 1/2 days while a howling blizzard swirled around them were rescued Monday – hungry and cold but unhurt – after taking shelter in a cozy cabin and calling 911 on a cell phone when the storm eased up.

The group, consisting of two couples and two teenagers, broke into the cabin, where they huddled around a gas grill and dined on popcorn and chicken bouillon they found inside.

“We counted 18 blankets. We were cozy,” 31-year-old Shannon Groen said after rescue crews on snowmobiles brought the group to safety. “God was looking out for us. When we knew we were safe we began to worry about the rescuers and we prayed for them.”

Groen and the others were trapped by one in a series of storms that killed at least three people across the West, unloaded as much as 11 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada range, flooded hundreds of homes in Nevada and knocked out power to a quarter-million Californians.
