BioBio reported that Auclair and Fransson were climbing Monte San Lorenzo at the time of the accident. The group was filming a new project, which according to Fransson’s Facebook page, was a new webisode series called Apogee Skiing.
The region the group was climbing in is very remote and mountainous. BioBio states the location is 18 hours from the nearest city, and a two hour flight just to the base of the trail. A rescue operation takes up to 13 hours to reach the area of the avalanche.
