Two cross country skiers were located safe after a nine-hour search in Tompkins County. The pair were reported missing at about 3PM on Saturday by a third person, who reported that at approximately noon, the three had departed from Hammond Hill Road to ski the trails of the Hammond Hill State Forest Park. She later lost contact with the other two city of Ithaca women.
