February 13, 2010 - recreating Fatality at Grandview

Grandview,

Jim Bowles, 57, and Alan Gage, 40, were with a group of about 12 snowmachiners in the Grandview area wilderness between Girdwood and Seward on the Kenai Peninsula, in moderate terrain, with probably a 35–40-degree slope, when they were buried by an avalanche that roared down a slope. Neither man wore an avalanche beacon.
