Only thing is...those dorks in that case are not your standard "what to expect" when backpacking in off season". They were woefully unprepared and blew into their trip head strong. They are rather lucky they all survived that trip. And should be very grateful to whatever deity they pray to that they survived it. That same weekend 2 people were killed by an avalanche a couple ridges over.
