JACKSON HOLE LOCAL LUKE LYNCH KILLED IN AVALANCHE ON MT. MORAN

May 18, 2015 By: Ryan Dunfee

We are deeply saddened to be reporting on the death of Jackson Hole local Luke Lunch, 38, who died in a wet slough avalanche on Mt. Moran in Grand Teton National Park yesterday. According to the National Park Service, Lynch was climbing up the steep, exposed line known as The Sickle on the northeast face of Mt. Moran early yesterday morning with three others when a shallow wet slough avalanche released from above the party. The slide swept three of the party 500 feet down the line and over sections of ice and exposed rock. The avalanche killed Lynch while leaving one of his partners, Stephen P. Adamson, Jr., 42, critically injured and in need of immediate medical attention. Brook Yeoman, 37, sustained minor injuries in the slide as well.

Exum Mountain Guide Zahan “Z” Billimoria, one of TGR’s go-to guides for the Tetons and who was the only one of the party to escape the initial slide, was reported to have performed heroically in the aftermath of the incident, at first calling 911 and rushing to administer first aid to his injured partners and then, as fresh snow continued to send small sloughs down on top of the group, working to move Adamson and Lynch out of the path of the falling snow and into safety as Yeoman descended slowly under his own power despite his injuries.

A Teton County SAR helicopter piloted by Nicole Ludwig was eventually able to make multiple trips to the scene of the incident to support the evacuation of victims. Eric Helgoth photo via Teton County SAR.

A brief break in the weather allowed a Teton County Search and Rescuehelicopter to arrive at the base of the couloir and short-haul in a SAR rescuer, who arrived on the scene to attend to Adamson, who was already being attended to by Park Rangers who had arrived on foot. Adamson was airlifted first to the Jenny Lake Rescue Cache before being eventually flown in a fixed-wing aircraft to receive additional treatment at Eastern Idaho Medical Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

The SAR helicopter returned to retrieve Billimoria and Yeoman from the mountain before subsequent flights were made to retrieve Lynch’s body and the remaining rescue staff, all of whom were off of the mountain by 3 p.m.

The Sickle is one of the prime extreme ski mountaineering objectives in all of the Tetons, hidden away on Mt. Moran’s northeast face and often in the shadow of the main face and its more obvious Skillet Glacier route. The top of the route consists of 2000’ of sustained 45 degree pitch before choking into two parallel cruxes littered with ice and rock that require a good snow year to navigate on skis without rappelling.

A cycle of cold and wet weather patterns circulating through the Tetons this May had been bringing cold temps and fresh snow to Mt. Moran over the course of the weekend; the summit of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, roughly 2,000 vertical feet lower than the summit of Mt. Moran and 17 miles to the south, had received ten inches of fresh snow between Friday and Sunday.

While the end of the avalanche hazard forecasting season for the Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center meant no avalanche advisory was available, fresh snow and wet slides were undoubtedly a factor on the day of the incident.

 

AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE JACKSON HOLE COMMUNITY

luke_lynch.jpg

Luke Lynch was a resident of Jackson and the Wyoming director of the Conservation Fund, whose state branch he founded in 2006 and which has worked to preserve 150,000 acres of wild lands and important habitat across the state since its founding. An active member of the Jackson Hole community, Lynch also served on the Advisory Board of Friends of Pathways, was a Senior Advisor to the Ruckelshaus Institute of Environment & Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming, was on the Advisory Council of the Wyoming State Forestry, was a past founding director of the Green River Valley Land Trust, and was a 2012 recipient of the Public Lands Stewardship Award from the Public Lands Foundation. He is survived by his wife and family, and our thoughts are certainly with them in this dark, difficult hour. We will update this article as more details become available.

In the meantime, we'd like to thank those who assisted in the rescue operation for their heroic efforts to bring the party back down to safety.

Είδα λαβή ABS αλλά δεν είδα μπαλόνι να φουσκώνει.

Η χιονοστιβάδα στα δέντρα ειναι απο της άκρος επικίνδυνες!!!!

Σε μια πλαγιά χορις δέντρα θα σε θάψει το χιονι αλλα εχεις πιθανότητες για να γλιτώσεις !!!

Στα δέντρα η χιονοστιβάδα δεν εχει μεγαλη ταχύτητα αλλα ειναι πολα τα εμποδια στα οπια θα σε πετάξει ,με αποτέλεσμα να σπάσεις σβερκο(θανατηφόρο) να σπάσεις μεση(παραλύσει ) και πολα αλλα!!!

Και μερικα πραγματα ,οσο θιμαμε απο τα rescue μαθηματα που μας κάνανε !!!

1-οταν διασχίζουμε πλαγιά ,να κανουμε απόλυτη ησιχια ,ιδικα σε μερες με ηλιο

2- να μην κανουμε ποτε τραβέρσες απο άκρη σε άκρη της πλαγιάς

3- αν βρεθουμε σε χιονοστιβάδα ,να κανουμε κενο γυρο στο προσοπο μας για να εχουμε αερα!

4-οταν σε πέρνει χιονοστιβάδα ,να κανουμε κίνησης σαν να κολιμπαμε,ετσι εχεις κενο γυρο στο σομα σου

5- σημαντικο και αγαπημενο μου απο μικρος:) οταν σταματησεις ,να φτασεις και εξαρταται προς τα που θα παει του φτισιμο,σκάβεις ανάποδα !!

Ευχαριστω πολυ για το χρωνο σας και την προσοχή σας :)

Pepe, το 5 δεν υπάρχει καμία περίπτωση να γίνει.

Όταν σταματήσει, ούτε ρουθούνι δεν μπορείς να κουνήσεις.

SNOWBASIN SKI PATROLLER SWEPT AWAY BY AVALANCHE

Huntsville, UT – A 15-year veteran of the Snowbasin ski patrol was caught in an avalanche during control work prior to the resort’s opening this morning.

Mike Erickson, 42, had just deployed a hand charge in the John Paul area at around 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, and had skied away prior to detonation onto an adjacent low-angle slope when the slope released above him, according to the Weber County Sheriff’s Office. Erikson was partially buried despite deploying his airbag, and sustained injury when he was swept through some trees and rocks

After being extricated from the slide debris by two other patrollers, Erikson evacuated by toboggan and rushed to an area hospital, where he was being treated for some cracked ribs and possibly other injuries.

Following the incident, Snowbasin delayed opening of its John Paul and Porcupine lifts until 1 p.m. today to allow for further avalanche mitigation efforts.

A massive winter storm is currently impacting Snowbasin and the rest of Utah, with up to three feet or more of new snow predicted for some areas by Christmas Eve. The Utah Avalanche Center has rated the avalanche danger in the Snowbasin area today at “High”, or a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5. South of Snowbasin, some of the Wasatch Mountains surrounding the city of Provo — where today’s avalanche danger is listed as a 5, or “Extreme” — have already received over four inches of snow water equivalent from this storm in the past 24 hours.
