How long would it take a body to decompose if left out in the snow during an 8 month period (Oct. to May) at an elevation of 6200 ft. in the Sierra Nevada Range?

I think you have the wrong type of forensic forum...

Hope you're not planning to kill someone.;)

You need to consuly the experts on BAHId (British Association of Human Identification)for this one at www.bahid.org or lternatively try contacting a guy called Dave Oxlee at Kalagate 01480 408 610 who is a member of BAHId.

Hope it helps
