They were keen being on the Kepler at this time of year.
There are a couple of decent avalanche zones up there.

Tragic to have loved ones waiting at a distant airport. RIP.

A mountaineering expert says two young Canadian tourists walking the Kepler Track probably would not have even heard the avalanche that claimed their lives.
