They say Brendon Shoemaker had last been seen Tuesday on the south side of Mountain High West in the San Gabriel Mountains shortly after 4 p.m.

The 23-year-old was reportedly snowboarding out of bounds. When he didn't come back a friend reported him missing.

Rescue parties from Los Angeles County sheriff's and fire departments launched a search.

A helicopter crew saw Shoemaker shortly after daybreak and were working to bring him to safety. L.A. County Sheriff's deputies say he appears to be OK.
