The last of three Oxnard men separated while skiing in Wrightwood was found in good condition Sunday afternoon, authorities said.

A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department helicopter crew located Brian Pennington shortly before 1 p.m. just north of Adler Gulch in San Gabriel Canyon, Sgt. Robert Stoneman said. Pennington, 36, was in good condition despite having spent the night in 20-degree temperatures.

Pennington had become separated from two companions Saturday afternoon while downhill skiing at the Mountain High ski area.
