Hopefully they were prepared and built a good snow cave to escape the wind. Mt. Rainier can get serious real fast.

It sounds like they either built or found a snow cave to take shelter in - (sounds like they were in contact with rescuers at one point). Hopefully they make it out okay. Big storm was predicted to roll in sunday morning and go through monday so it seems like it didn't sneak up on them.

It looks like they are okay, but they are lucky. The storm on Sunday had been forecasted since Wednesday. Not sure why they decided to go up.

Cause people over 20 don't make poor decisions

I made a lot of reckless decisions at 20. At that age you think you are immortal and take risks that someone older might think twice about. As ACH said there are exceptions to the rule. But to go up the most dangerous mountain in the lower 48 this time of year with a storm approaching that was forecast almost a week in advance is imo reckless. Notice that I did not even throw in that they were snowboarders

That's a little harsh. They didn't exactly do a Polish Traverse and end up amputees.
I heard somewhere during the week they were originally from Indiana? 20 & 21? College here in WA?
Just a combination of youthful exuberance and inexperience?
They're very lucky boys though. Was only this past September that the bodies of the (similar area) missing snow shoe-ers from January were found.
