Cracking (Shooting cracks)? | No |
Drove through Turnagain between 5:30pm and 6pm. Did not see any obvious fresh glide avalanche with snow on bed surface before it melts in the sun. I did notice a newish glide avalanche on an East aspect in Lynx Creek, adjacent to another glide avalanche that was observed on 3/31.
Glide cracks are continuing to open up and widen. There are a lot of cracks on the SW facing terrain on non-motorized side of the road, and still a handful of large cracks on Seattle Ridge that haven’t avalanched yet.

Lynx Creek Glide avalanche - sometime in the last few days.
Partly cloudy
40Fs
Calm
No precip
Snow is melting fast along the road and patches of bare ground exposed on far South end of Turnagain Pass.
New glide avalanche on an East aspect of Lynx Creek
Lots of cracks opening up on SW aspects. Two glide avalanches, one Magnum and one on Cornbiscuit were observed on Wed. All others are older.
Captains Chair - lots of glide avalanche have released over the last few weeks. No new one's in the last few days.
Petes N and Pete's S - all of these glides are from the last two weeks, but none are new in the last few days.
Seattle Ridge looks like a battle field between the old wet debris from the March storm and dozens of glide avalanches. There are still a handful of cracks, but no new ones since Sunday.
Snow on the Northern side of the pass still has pretty good coverage.
Uptrack zone with a few glides opening near by
