Glide crack at turny!!!!!!!!!

[RamrodAK1]

OK for everyone that loves the back bowls at turny Please be carefull. The Crack is about 40 foot long right were the 99 avy was on the front face. There was 18 in. of fresh wet heavy snow from last night. It was bluebird for a couple of hours then started to snow again. So it may get filled in and now longer visible anymore. Its up high to the left of the first bench. The flats were great today. We stayed away from front face today. Johnsons was dark and gloomy and snowing all day so we didnt go in there.

Ramrod, Did you report your finding on the chugach avy website? They have a link to report those kinds of things. If it is that bad, and in that spot, I would take the time to make the report.

 

[RamrodAK1]

I did you guys. Under the snow observations. I think with it snowing and some wind that things gonna fill in and no ones gonna see it.

Thanks for posting that update! I lost a good friend up there in 99. He was taking a break down lower and hardly seen it coming before it was to late...
Info like this and the Avy web sites may have saved many of them.

Thanks

I was there today, people still trying to push over today, and yes it still looks like a frsh peice of pie west of the bench.

 

[RamrodAK1]

There today also. The crack is still there but not as visible as yesterday. got about 4 inches of fresh last night. I hope it sets up before it slides.

 

[theultrarider]

I'd rather see it come down soon before the weekend crowds get up there and someone gets it... Thanks again for the heads up.

I was up there yesterday aswell. I cant believe people where trying to get over

 

[diablo907]

We were there today.. You really cant see it anymore, and yes people are making it up and over. We were itching to go but felt it is still just so sketch. Stayed on the front side and help'd dig a nice 120 foot'r just down from the 110. Should be sick 2morrow. You dont have to go all the way over to catch some SICK FREESTYLE WHILE LIVIN THE HIGH LIFE!!!!

turny crack got cover up not good

its not good i hope it falls soon!!!!!

 

[Prayn4snow]

It would be nice (wishful thinking) if it fell overnight with more snow so no one would get hurt. It is great people are posting updates on here, but unfortunate not everyone searches for info before riding there. If you see people in the parking lots unloading...pass on what you know.

Very true, actually just before i left the parking lot to ride, a forest ranger guy came over and talked to me about it. he was very cool about it. I was surprised he was has nice as he was.

I'm planning on riding there Friday. I hope the snow settles.

 

[907Apex]

Have some common sense

We were there on Saturday with 22X and his son and we watched not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 riders on the same hill on the face at the same time. It was wet heavy snow and i just couldn't believe what I was watching. We played the tree's and valleys and it was great. On the way out there was the Johnson Pass rumor or a avy. So sad to see people playing on the big slopes and one can only assume that they all had beacons

I may be there on friday as well with a couple guys from school. Not sure yet, but I want too at least
