Dae Lim, 34, credited his time in the South Korean army for his survival skills, which included building a makeshift bridge to cross a river and using his snowboard as a shelter. He became separated from a group of friends snowboarding out-of-bounds at Timberline Ski Area early Saturday afternoon, and his friends searched themselves for three hours before notifying authorities of Lim’s disappearance.

Lim was located around 2:15 a.m. Sunday morning by Clackamas County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue, and was returned to Timberline Lodge without any medical issues.
