- Resort owner Christopher Gutierrez discovered Slaton when reopening the winter-closed resort, spotting an unlocked cabin door and shoes nearby in the remote area.

- Slaton's parents credited their outdoor teachings for her survival, while officials planned interviews to learn how she endured icy conditions above 6,500 feet elevation.
