The expert estimated the chances of finding traces of the Usoltsev family in the taiga after the snowfall

After the snow cover melts, it will be extremely difficult to find traces of the Usoltsevs who disappeared in the taiga near Krasnoyarsk, said Alexander Trepukov, an experienced hiker, on May 14.

He noted that after winter, the surrounding area is changing, which makes the search more difficult.

"When the snow comes off after winter, everything around is gray, merges… It will be difficult to find traces," he told RIA Novosti.
