dkemp Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Damn, sorry to be the bearer of sad news. From my pal in Eagle River:"Today I drove by an avalanche recovery operation on Eagle River Road. The mountain is less than five miles away from my house. The simple fact is there was a near miss two days ago across the valley on Harp Mountain where one man was buried for thirty minutes. His partner dug an air hole after using a beacon and probe to find him. Today it was a different story. I plan on climbing the same Mountain soon using a safe route. The day was spectacular and Eagle River Valley is in glory that is nothing short of awesome. People are attracted by the beauty and the clean perfectly clear crisp air and magically blue skies.A sad day for the community. Stay safe and Remember the increased snowfall down there!" http://www.adn.com/front/story/868920p-954624c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
