    SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT  

Anchorage Hillside / Eagle River, AK

Special Weather Statement issued January 6 at 9:19PM AKST by NWS Anchorage AK

The Chugach National Forest Avalanche Information Center in Girdwood has issued a SPECIAL AVALANCHE STATEMENT

Areas Affected: Anchorage Hillside / Eagle River

Urgency: Expected

Severity: Moderate

Certainty: Observed

Alert Sent: Tuesday 9:19pm AKST

Alert Effective: Tuesday 9:19pm AKST

Alert Expires: Thursday 6:00am AKST

Event Onset: Tuesday 9:19pm AKST

Issued by: NWS Anchorage AK

Details: 
...The Chugach National Forest Avalanche Information Center in Girdwood has issued a SPECIAL AVALANCHE STATEMENT...

* WHAT...Dangerous avalanche conditions exist in the backcountry.
Human triggered avalanches are likely.

* WHERE...For Southwestern Chugach State Park from South Fork of
Eagle River to Indian Creek including Upper Rabbit Creek, Glen
Alps Recreation Area, and the backcountry terrain near Arctic
Valley. This bulletin does not apply to operating ski areas.

* WHEN...In effect from Wednesday 6:00 am to Thursday 6:00 am AKST.

* IMPACTS... Large human-triggered avalanches are likely. Despite
the calmer weather, the snowpack is very unstable and dangerous
avalanches can be easily triggered by people. It is likely
avalanches may be triggered remotely from flat terrain below
steeper slopes.

* PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If deciding to recreate in
the backcountry, choose terrain that is flat or less than 30
degrees in steepness, with nothing steeper above you. Cautious
route-finding and conservative decision-making skills will be
necessary to identify and avoid slopes that could avalanche.

Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the coverage
area of this or any avalanche center.
