More Ironic than you will ever guess. We almost spent the night on the mountain. Visibility went to almost complete whiteout in the afternoon...the storm came from the east, very rare, and we had to dig a shelter and had a fire going in case we had to overnight. When the visibility got a little better (not untill nightfall) we where able to find sugarbowl and work our way out, getting to the parking lot at 10:30 pm. I realized it was lost when I looked for it after the shelter was built and the fire was going, in case we needed it.
