Friiiiiiick. I’m supposed to go to Terrace tomorrow morning!!
Looks like you might have to change your plans, if you look at the weather forecast we’re in store for some 50 plus mm tomorrow plus continuing high winds, ideal kind of weather for avalanche risk. sorry…
That’s ok… if the highway stays closed then I don’t have to do inventory!
LOL, a silver lining in every avalanche warning…
It’s now closed until possibly 2pm. Next update is at noon.
Latest update has the highway closed until 4pm for debris removal, another update expected at 4pm.
Update: road was reopened this afternoon, however with the following warning posted:
High Avalanche Hazard 34 km east of Agate Creek Bridge to 55 km west of Terrace (4.6 km). Updated Tue Jan 27 at 5:57 pm.
