It's the area just above Trail Camp, shows the conditions mid-day. They were returning from Trail Crest where they turned back. (I would have stayed in that well-beaten path in the top of the picture.) Postholing occurs more often near exposed boulders (note the rock on the left.)

Here's the caption:

Snow softened on our descent from the chute. I fell in about 2.5ft of snow and couldn't get my leg out. I yelled at Lisa for help but she ends up getting stuck as well. We yell for Fabian and I blow my whistle cause there's no response. Lisa and I wave for anyone down at Trail Camp but no one comes. I start to think "Crap this is some '127 Hours' bullshit right now...I'm not ready. I don't want frostbite...I love my toes"...I went on. 😂😭 Fabian FINALLY comes, laughs at us and snaps pics while I'm yelling. He says, "Girls, it's snow...not quicksand..."
