I'm working from memory here but yeah, I seem to recall that the bodies found at the cedar tree were around a mile from the tent.
The journey was all down hill and I remember the footprints were deduced to show a steady, orderly walking pace with no signs of anyone running or panicking.
I've postulated before that normal avalanche protocol would involve moving rapidly in a horizontal direction out of it's path, rather than vertically down the slope right in front of it.
Am happy to be proved wrong on that.
Despite that, I still lean towards avalanche as the most likely culprit, simply playing the odds, but agree that it's all pretty unfathomable.
