The family members had flown to the area for a weekend hunting trip. Due to no empty hangers being available the plane remained outside until they were set to leave on November 30th, while there was a winter storm warning in effect. The passengers arrived via the plane on November 29, with freezing rain and snow being reported that day. There were twelve passengers on board the plane were aged from 7-years-old to 81-years-old. The flight originated from Chamberlain Municipal Airport before the accident and destined for Idaho Falls Regional Airport, Idaho Falls, Idaho. and was operated as a personal aircraft by the pilot. The airplane was registered to Conrad & Bischoff Inc. The airplane was a Pilatus PC-12 single-engine plane, which was not required to have a voice or flight data recorder.
