Dyatlov Pass incident

[Dowly]

I think given the number of questions, rather than answers, raised by this, it's kind of hard to come up with a definite answer here. Without those answers, certain theories are just convenient fragments that match up...

True, mostl likely we'll never know what happened, but it's always nice to see what other people think happened.

At first I was leaning towards the avalance theory, but then again (according to the site) there had been no avalances in the area that anyone knew about before or after the incident. Also, the first bodies found were in the surface IIRC, guess they should've been buried under much more snow if it had been an avalance.

I've seen this theory around on other forums discussing the incident. The flaw with it seems to be that the bodies were found together, meaning they fled and stayed as a group (for a short time atleast).
