Avalanche: Turnagain
Location: Magnum / Cornbiscuit
Toured up standard Magnum skintrack from the Magnum/Cornbiscuit lot. Scattered clouds in the late morning / midday, then rapidly shifted to high overcast and the visibility became quite poor for our ski out.
Notable features were glide cracks and avalanches. I think most of these have been previously reported, but here are a bunch of photos anyways. Anecdotally it seems like the cracks are starting to open up on more westerly aspects of the non-moto side of Turnagain Pass, compared to the last several weeks where it seemed like they were mostly on South / Southwesterly aspects. Photos of Cornbiscuit and Magnum from our ski, as well as photos of Tincan Trees and Eddie’s from the road.
Of particular concern was a fresh looking glide crack immediately adjacent to the main skintrack up Magnum that we couldn’t see until we were right on top of it. 60.75466, -149.20853

Glide cracks on Cornbiscuit as seen from Magnum skintrack approx. at treeline.
Fresh looking glide crack immediately adjacent to main Magnum skintrack, we were looking out for this sort of thing but didn’t see it until we were right on top of it.
Glide cracks adjacent to Magnum skintrack as seen from further up the valley.
Glide crack at the northern edge of Tincan Trees, as seen from the highway.
Glide cracks on Eddie’s, wrapping around to a more westerly aspect than the previously released glide avalanche just out of sight here.
