It’s got to be the best no homework excuse of all time.
Far above “the dog ate it.”
Two Canadian snowboarding teenagers got lost and spent a cold night in the back country near Nelson, B.C.
Thankfully they are now safe thanks to being discovered by a search team – and their homework.
RCMP say they received a call Sunday night when the teens didn’t return from an out-of-bounds area near the Whitewater Ski Resort.
A search for the 16-year-old boys was suspended Sunday as the weather worsened.
A helicopter finally spotted the pair. “They’re extremely lucky,” said Jim Kyle, the manager of Nelson Search and Rescue.
They had managed to build a fire and a shelter for warmth and apparently burned the homework in their backpacks to keep the fire burning.
Kyle said the teens were found in good spirits but cold, with a bit of frost nip to their hands.
