[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reports are that I-80 was closed that whole day so even if they made it to their cars they wouldn’t have been able to go home. They should have stayed in the huts (or not gone altogether.) Very bad decision-making all around.[/quote] That's the part I don't get about the NYTimes article and the guides taking the route taking them to their cars rather than other totally safe routes because yes, they'd not have been able to drive anywhere once they got there, the cars would have been at least totally covered in snow even with roads open.[/quote] Exactly. If they weren’t going to cancel the trip, they should have either hunkered down at the huts or skied south towards I-80 (but away from the cars) rather than climbing up and over the peak to cross behind the huge pile of fresh snow sitting on the ridge. I mean, it’s mind-blowing.[/quote]
