There is still hope...
"Beginning on New Year's Eve in 1975, two 16-year-olds and an 18-year-old survived in a snow cave 13 days through a snow storm.[15]"
If they have the perfect shelter (snow cave) and food, they could go on for a couple weeks. So I agree with you. Other factors on Hood right now is the huge amounts of snowfall that trigger avy conditions. Also we dont know if they are injured which really shortens the time. They have to stay dry and warm enough. Sometimes it would just come down to thier mental condition.
