Bear Valley, CA...We just spoke with rescued Santa Cruz area snowboarder, Jerad Gerlach. As Jerad was trying to hike out last night he was caught in two small avalanches and spent the night out in the storm last evening. He lost his snowboard in one of the avalanches that occurred. He then let go of his board when an avalanche started pulling him and his board under. He was then able to keep himself above the surface. After the avalanches Jerad decided to stop trying to hike out and dug a snow cave to ride out the night....
 
Jerad is posing above with his friends and family. Jerad is the young man in the tan coat in the middle giving a big thumbs up. The picture on the right is the missing person's notice that was placed on Jerads truck. |
