Six Colorado Mountain College students and a Wisconsin teenager were found safe late Thursday after they been missing for more than 24 hours after heading out Wednesday on a snowmobile outing in Routt County.

The group was found about 9:30 p.m. by guides from the High Mountain Snowmobile Tours in an area known as the Silver City Creek Meadows, about 35 miles north of Steamboat Springs, according to Dawn Alperti, incident commander for Routt County Search and Rescue.

"What we've heard is that they were all in good condition," she said.

Search and rescue teams have not been able to determine whether the group had camped out in the mountains overnight or became lost.

They were last seen by another snowmobiler with the group who turned back Wednesday afternoon, Alperti said.

On Thursday morning, guides with High Mountain Snowmobile Tours, who are friends of members of the group, began looking for them. About 15 search and rescue members joined the search in the afternoon before calling it off about 8 p.m.

Six of the snowmobilers attend the Alpine Campus of Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat Springs, Alperti said. The seventh was a brother of one of the students who was visiting from Wisconsin.
