The disappearance of a Soviet skiing party in 1959
Most people who&#x27;ve looked deeply into this case dismiss the snow slap theory. At any rate, it&#x27;s one of 70 something theories, with new ones coming out every six months or so, and new book every year. The most recent book has the tent moved as part of a staging coverup after a tree fell on the tent near the cedar tree, causing all the various hiker injuries. You can find out about that and most of the other theories and books here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forum.dyatlovpass.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forum.dyatlovpass.com&#x2F;</a><p>Personally, having familiarized myself with this case over the past three years from various podcasts, forums, videos and even a couple of the books, I&#x27;d say the snow slab is no more or less likely than infrasound, katabatic wind, tree fall, military test or murder theories. Reason being that the evidence is incomplete and ambiguous, with the actions of the higher up authorities suspicious enough that there could have been some sort of cover up.
