I was little bit shocked to read that they were caught out there so late in the afternoon. Definitely not the place to be after 1pm on a bluebird day after heavy snowfall. Possibly they were staying in Siviez area and got stuck on Verbier side so decided to make their way on skis as it's an expensive ride back...
