A man and woman missing at the Ohau ski field in the South Island back country overnight have been found this morning.
The pair were found about 8am, said a friend who had been in contact with the family.
It's understood there was a whiteout when the pair reached the top of a hill yesterday and they became disoriented making their way back down the mountain.
The pair were said to be experienced skiers and it was understood they were well-equipped and knew the area.
They were now at the Ohau ski lodge with their relieved family.
