Woman stuck overnight in a Heavenly Ski Resort gondola near Tahoe

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif.  When Monica Laso planned a skiing trip with her friends to Heavenly Ski Resort, she never imagined she would spend 15 hours overnight hanging in the sky on a gondola.

The hours felt long as Laso said she was fighting the cold by rubbing her hands and feet.

Thursday was her first time at the Lake Tahoe area resort. She spent most of the day snowboarding. Towards the end of the day, she fell behind her friends since they are more experienced than her.

Laso said since it was getting late, she approached a worker who guided her to the gondola after she expressed that she was too tired to continue down the hill. She got into the gondola at around 4:58 p.m., and then two minutes later, it stopped, leaving her alone and stranded.
