Two Massachusetts women were rescued from Mount Washington after becoming stranded in severe weather and deep snow. They had called for help after getting lost near the Jewell Trail. Despite their attempts to navigate back, they struggled against whiteout conditions and deep snow. Rescuers reached them hours later, facing extreme weather, underscoring the importance of proper gear and preparation for outdoor activities to ensure survival in such conditions.
Had they not had the amount of gear that they had with them, it is unlikely that they would have survived until rescuers reached them.
The only way to locate the trail was through GPS navigation, and progress was slow due to the tremendous effort required to break a trail in the deep snow.
