Character mistake: At the beginning of the film, while packing, Angus justifies why he has a swimsuit that looks like woman's underwear by claiming it's the swimsuit James Bond wore in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service,' which, in the timeline of the film, had just come out a year earlier in 1969. Except, Bond doesn't wear a swimsuit in any scenes in that film, let alone a Speedo. Angus may have been boasting (lying) to deflect criticism, but he's still wrong.

Answer: Maybe since they didn't know how to get there, it would be easier than finding a map and trying to navigate there on their own in the snow? Just a guess, though.
