A big slide ran over 82 yesterday on the TL side.

A big slide ran over 82 yestetfay

Where?

[montanaskier]

Where?

TL side...4 miles from the summit. Seems pretty low to me...unless it was a slide path on Star? Heard it on the radio this morning.

4mi east of the summit would probably be Beeler Grade. Which would not at all surprise me. East facing, pretty much right at treeline, loading with westerly winds from all the snow last week, steep, still holding lots of snow as of last weekend, etc.

what does TL stand for? I'm not hip to your mountain lingo.

[adrenalated]

Twin Lakes.

[montanaskier]

TL = Twin Lakes and you're not hip at all

One of those paths slid on Monday too and closed the road for a little while.

If saying that "it's over" will make it go corn, then I say it's over, done, finished, putting storage wax on the skis, buying a new MTB and some golf clubs, etc.

Hiked in Wild Basin yesterday and it is still thick above 10K. Streams weren’t blown up either.

[montanaskier]

Loveland Pass closed due to Avalanche. I'd say slot of stuff is about to come down. Tread safely.

[Danno]

duh, I should have figured out Twin Lakes. I normally think of that as the Leadville side, and I couldn't imagine that TL stood for Leadville. Can't brain today.

Did you happen to go up past Ouzel Falls and lake? Where is the snow line in there?

[hatchgreenchile]

Yeah, we were heading that way (bridge still out fyi) but it got deep fast after the cutoff trail to the camp sites past Ouzel.

There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those who can live in Seattle, and those who can't. The past month should tell you which of those you are. I could live in Seattle.

Hah... exactly why I left, and why I was in Taos last weekend. Powder was fun. Corn please.

Living in Seattle is like living with a beautiful woman who is sick all the time.

[WTF is dat]

sig worthy

[Danno]

no doubt, that's gold.

I lived in Seattle for 2 years, then moved to Durango. Figured which side I am on very quick.

MSG:Loveland Pass EB and WB closed due to snow slide.

It's over.

Looks like there was also a different, very large slide behind one of the Eisenhower Tunnel portals.

On a different note: congrats to Davenport & the Mahons on completing their Centennial project. Amazing.

[montanaskier]

Check this out from Indy today....same spot as the one Monday.
