A helicopter crew in Scotland pulled two stranded skiers to safety on Saturday, after blizzard conditions forced the pair to spend the night without shelter at an altitude of 914m.
Police Scotland received a call late on Friday alerting them that two people were stuck near Glencoe, but the mountain rescue team were unable to reach the climbers due to bad weather conditions.
