I thought they talked about it a couple of episodes ago when it first came up, but I also didn't feel like trying to find it either. It just doesn't make much sense as it stands right now.

so, I'm bored....

Ep03-
12:30 Alex: "No with 6 RFB's, she'll be fine, if you can make it to the station"

12:58 Alex: "You'll be in deep drifted snow, if you have to detour thru any crevices or avalanche debris, your sled will be out of fuel by the time you get to the station"

13:05 Melanie: "Well, the sled can stay dead till I have to get back"

22:19 Alex: "....then at the highest peak, you have to get out and take the sled all the way back to the station"

Now, does that sound like a short distance from A to B?





I'm no cartographer, and there isnt a sense of true scale, but I'm going to say that's at least a few miles
...uphill
....in multiple feet of snow
.......straight up 1600' of elevation


So, if SP is 10 miles long, and they slow all the way down to 10mph, if she started off from when she felt the train....she's got about an hour +/- to run, on foot, thru all that snow

So I guess she literally fell/rolled down the mountain, if we're to think she made it back to the tracks


I've got waaaaaaay too much free time


Fun fact: Bess/Tess (whatever her name is) - IRL - Sting's daughter
