Though the weather from the TAT webcam doesn't look too promising, we just heard that Talkeetna Air Taxi is launching a DeHaviland Beaver to try to get in to Base Camp to get some of our crew.
The Beaver is an amazing aircraft that can fly higher than some of the other planes used to fly into the Alaska Range. The cloud cover is apparently rather low, so they think they can get above it with the Beaver. If they can make it to BC, they will pick up five of our team and bring them back to Talkeetna. We have transportation headed up to Talkeetna already (eternal optimists that we are!), so if they do get out, we can bring them right back to Anchorage to make scheduled flights, etc.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more.
