Same area as fatal slide of 99
The slide came down in the same area as the 99 slide that killed several people. Watched it from down on the flats. Rode up after the slide to check on the riders in the area. 3 riders were within 150 feet when it went past them. It was about 3/4 miles wide and went down on both sides of the trail up over the top.The CNF forecaster was at a loss for words to explain the danger.
I have the words-ride high at Turnagain right now and you die. It will take awhile for the snow to stabilize and there is alot more in the forecast. Fortunantly, with all the snow falling there will be alot of other areas opening to ride.
