Two experienced hikers found themselves in a perilous situation on Mount Washington in New Hampshire after getting lost in extreme weather conditions. The women, both seasoned hikers, were well-equipped with warm clothing, headlamps, and other gear but faced challenges when the wind intensified and temperatures dropped.

Struggling in waist-deep snow and whiteout conditions, one of the hikers encountered difficulties with a snowshoe getting stuck in a 'spruce trap,' further impeding their progress. Despite their efforts to navigate the terrain, they eventually had to call 911 for assistance.
