"These rescue missions have been for lost, stranded and/or injured hikers. Unfortunately, during these past 4 weeks, two hikers did not survive after falling and injuring themselves," the post said.
"The recent storms that brought the snow and ice conditions are not favourable for hikers, even those that feel they have a high level of experience."
