Sure, the SAR community didn't get called in, but all the hotel guests were accounted for. These two were no longer clients of the resort, they checked out.
Incorrect; they still had ski passes on the day they went missing. Their car was still parked in the lot, but the resort missed it when they did their check -- they didn't check the underground parking.
Yes, indeed, they could have had a GPS, or a PLB, or a dozen things.
And that angle is being covered. (Although the media is fascinated with plugging SPOT and has apparently never heard of PLBs.)
But someone inevitably won't, and that's why we have a SAR system.
