poor gal didn't have enough experience or planning...
you'd think being born in Siberia, she'd have had a better handle on dealing with extreme cold and high winds...
Mt Washington can get some real doozy wind speeds up there...
but quite simply, staying out of the wind is the main thing...
about any Boy Scout should be able to tell ya that building a snow cave or igloo, your body temp makes the inside of one about 40 to 45 degrees... we train the boys in that sort of stuff...
she should have dug one and sheltered in, until the wind died down...
poor decision or poor planning..sadly took her life...and that is the tragedy...
plenty of money and fancy gear can't replace common sense...
I am sure the cold and wind chill made her loose focus and get her thoughts messed up.. and she was wandering around going into shock...and that is what did her in...
Condolences to her family..
