Event narrative (NOAA)
A hiker planned to summit Mount Lafayette in the White Mountains on November 19-20th. The hiker didn't return to the trailhead as planned on Sunday and because of the harsh winter conditions a search party was immediately initiated that evening. Because of the harsh winter conditions bringing low visibility, blowing snow and cold wind chills the Search and Recovery mission was hampered. The search party spent the next two days looking for the hiker until her body was found on Wednesday in the upper elevations of Mount Lafayette. Cause of death was recorded as exposure to the elements.
