I think what struck me the most (other than the tragedy of it all) was that Elyse Saugstad was the only survivor in the debris field at the end, now I wonder how much of that was due to her airbag ? the others were I think all found face down quite deep beneath the surface but she was face up with her head at the surface and she was the only one with such a device.

I found it quite shocking how experienced, professional skiers all succumbed so badly to peer pressure, and not one of them thought to count how many they were

If the report was accurate (which I have my suspicions), Jim Jack was also found near the surface and face up. He, on the other hand, was carried the longest distance.

I'm pretty sure that generalising from this specific case is not going to be very useful.

Very well written and executed story with the videos and animations
Tragic story
Does it boil down to some very fundamental mistakes? Lack of preparation (several people didnt know what route they were supposed to take)
