I don't want to be insensitive but this is dumb,hiking Mt Washington state forest in a bad bad snow storm (not to be confused with the mountain in New Hampshire)

Mt Washington is a town of 150 odd people on the Connecticut and New York borders in southwest MA.It is very mountainous and remote and is known for Bash Bish falls the states largest waterfall and Mt Everett and large Mt of about 24,25 hundred feet.It is also known for a decent rattlesnake population.

Every year someone gets lost in the White Mountains or on Mt Greylock in a storm and occassionally someone dies or goes missing or a body pops up years later in the Maine wilderness or something.

​

If these people were not able to find a cell signal they would have surely died and I am surprised they found a cell signal in Mt Washington in a blizzard.What possessed them to hike to a remote cabin on a MT in a blizzard.And the State Troopers they put at risk too ,what about them.

Please don't hike in storms,really it's not smart

It's not insensitive, they are in fact dumb.

We are trying to save future lives it's not about crying,it happens more in the White Mountains but people die from doing this shit.Maybe someone will think first before doing this next time.

These people obviously weren't not experienced enough in wilderness sports to be hiking or snow shoeing in a blizzard nor'easter because they called police looking for rescue.

If one really feels they are so advanced in wilderness skills to go out in remote mountainous areas in a blizzard,I'm not stopping you but most people who do this stuff don't know what they are doing.

That is why were warning the general public because most people are not so advanced.
