After that, deputies were unable to track down her location.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In early May, a full-scale search operation was underway in the mountainous area. Deputies said they searched nearly 600 square miles, covering an area from Mono Hot Spring to Wishon Reservoir, and Pine Flat Lake to Auberry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the snowpack prevented the search operation from making it over Kaiser Pass. Deputies said they flew their helicopter in the area but could not find any trace of Slaton.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, snow plows cleared Kaiser Pass, allowing the owner of Vermilion Valley Resort, Christopher Gutierrez, to access his property so that he could prepare for the summer season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As he was doing so, Gutierrez, who was aware of the ongoing search, found Slaton in a rental cabin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We see the door open and I see some shoes down there and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;OK, well it&#8217;s just a hiker who decided to hold up in the blizzard we had that previous night,'&#8221; Gutierrez said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=2116631875479363\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">media briefing Wednesday afternoon<\/a>. &#8220;As soon as we start making our way there, here comes Tiffany, she pops out, deer in the headlights. So she pops out, didn&#8217;t say a word, just ran up and all she wanted was a hug.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-left embed--size-small\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/15\/3f856e8d-3539-478f-b0c8-c10e8393c354\/thumbnail\/620x349\/5d7d0b23391cd9401e297953c5c581ea\/slaton.png?v=6df9366690ed146f169dd0670c453f91#\" alt=\"slaton.png \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/15\/3f856e8d-3539-478f-b0c8-c10e8393c354\/thumbnail\/620x349\/5d7d0b23391cd9401e297953c5c581ea\/slaton.png?v=6df9366690ed146f169dd0670c453f91 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Tiffany Slaton, a 27-year-old woman from Georgia, was found alive in California&#8217;s Sierra Nevada after going missing on a hike and braving a blizzard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Fresno County Sheriff&#8217;s Office<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gutierrez drove Slaton to the pass where deputies and medics met them.

That&#8217;s amazing,&#8221; Fresno County Sheriff&#8217;s Office spokesperson Tony Botti said. &#8220;But three weeks, it&#8217;s unheard of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gutierrez said he leaves a cabin unlocked
