Pretty weird to have the guide so clearly identifying avalanche conditions and not having the group take action to stay safe. So very sad. [/quote]

This season has been tough for Tahoe. Snow is way under seasonal averages, so guides are eager to make some money and skiers are very eager to get their turns in fresh powder.

The cabins are in the wilderness and high end accommodations at Frog Lake: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EjfBMDnEXxeQJC8X6

You sleep and have hot meals in these nice modern cabins. Then do guided touring in the surrounding mountains.

Likely this group was all advanced skiers, so they figured that they could handle a few days of skiing and then make it out. From what I saw on Reddit, it sounds like they were taking the normal trail out and just got hit by a random avalanche. Wrong place, wrong time. If they truly ran out of food, then I can understand the desire to leave.[/quote]
