There was another PC12 several years ago that crashed up near Butte, Montana. (?) Same thing as it had more pax than seats. Sounds as if this might be more common than one would think?
Anything known about the pilot‘s experience level? With that weather report and no de-icing available, I personally would rather go on foot.
