I reread this story and noted that the woman was described as not properly dressed for the conditions. That is far more important than age.
Yeah, I'd imagine it's probably best applied to skiing/snowboarding. If you were hiking I guess the best advice if you find yourself lost is to just stay put rather than wandering around.

They were saying that this story is a harsh reminder that it's spring-like in Vancouver but still very much winter up in the mountains.
