Snow was falling and the wind was extreme overnight, taking the wind chill down to as low as -16 degrees. The incident comes after another close call in the national park around 7pm the night before when two trampers were rescued from deep snow. The two rescued individuals were thought to be only a short distance from where the deceased woman was found this morning.
