Title: Can someone clarify this doubt for me?
Post by: Javier on February 28, 2026, 03:19:49 PM
I have a question for the forum.

1. Why does Kolevatov have two skis when they found his body? Supposedly, they left the tent by cutting it from the inside because they didn't even have time to get dressed.

Thanks in advance!

When or after they found his body? It makes a difference.

Im not sure what your asking or think you're perceiving from the photo you post? Why do you think he has two skis. ??

These are not Kolevatov's skis.

When the 4 bodies were extracted from snow pile in the ravine, they were put into inner parts of the Search party's sleeping bags. Then the bodies were put on self-made sledges. Search party's skis were used to build those sledges. So, on the photo you see the sledge that was used to transport Kolevatov's body from the ravine to the helicopter pad on the Pass.

That is the possible answer I was looking for. I give my thanks to everyone who has helped clarify my doubt and my apologies to those who did not understand me (maybe I should have explained myself better)
