Dyatlov was spotted visually, mostly covered by snow, then Zina was found by the search dog. Slobidin was buried slightly deeper . There are only 30 people at this point, it is day one of the search , a HQ has to be prepared, the Yuri's were found , Zina and Dyatlov too. 4 of the bodies were transported to boot rock and the tent was looked at and search plan was made. This is a lot of work and information .By 4 o'clock on the 1st the weather is turning and the students are disheartened to find that their friends have died.

Today, despite the sharp deterioration in the weather, the search continued. We passed about 1,000 meters of the zone 30 meters wide of the most probable part of the stop of the victims. The search yielded nothing, the snow is 1-2 meters deep and more. Today the wind reaches 30 meters, there is no visibility, so in such weather the search cannot be continued. *
The entire detachment of 30 people feels fine, everyone works together and in an organized manner. However, if the bad weather lasts 3-4 days and if you give permission taking into account the bad weather for 3-4 days, we can leave with the entire detachment in 2 days on our own to 2nd Severny or to Lozva, where we can be picked up by helicopter.
* As for the advisability of further search, it can be said that searches in this area even in good weather may not yield anything. If the weather were good, it would be possible to check 1-2 more areas.

I answer:
1) We can continue the search, but half of the group needs to be replaced by fresher forces. We need to remove Slobtsov's group and the Mansi.
2) Sappers will be more useful with probes, not with mine detectors, since people under the snow do not have metal and metal things. Probes are needed 2.5 meters, about 20 pieces.
3) According to today's order, the weather is expected to deteriorate on March 2. If not, we will be only too happy, since a strong snowstorm is raging behind our tent, and the weather is getting worse with each passing hour. I also inform you that on the way back from the search at 4 o'clock in the afternoon we took the food sent by helicopter and lowered it down. Next time, please send newspapers. M-v.
We can see the tent then I think the first x is the torch below the tent . The two X's next to the blue squiggle I think are the chum and the platform in the trees, possibly a Mansi labaz behind the chum.
The 3 fir trees to the top left in the red hash zone can be seen in some of the search photos. The middle x in the line is Slobidin. I would suspect he wasn't found quickly because of the weather in part and they were working systematically in the red zone, also I believe they were probing around the ceder in the first days too as a priority in case there was survivers in the forest somewhere.
I don't think there would be foot prints anywhere near the three on the slope, going up or down as it's obvious that the snow level they were walking / crawling on is at least 40-60 cm deeper than the day/ night of the incident.
The body positions represent the last moments of movement for survival, probably against the elements. They are consistent with many other cases of hypothermia that look unusual.
