Special Weather Statement
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
National Weather Service ANCHORAGE AK
811 AM AKDT Sat Apr 25 2026
AKZ731-732-261600-
Valdez-Thompson Pass-
Including the cities of Valdez and Thompson Pass
811 AM AKDT Sat Apr 25 2026
...SPECIAL AVALANCHE STATEMENT FOR THE VALDEZ AND THOMPSON PASS
AREAS...
The Valdez Avalanche Center has issued a SPECIAL AVALANCHE STATEMENT
for the following areas: The Valdez and Thompson Pass area.
* WHAT...Dangerous avalanche conditions exist in the backcountry. Avalanche
danger is High at mid and upper elevations.
* WHERE...The Valdez and Thompson Pass area.
* WHEN...In effect from Saturday, 8:00 am to Sunday, 8:00am AKST.
* IMPACTS...There is a high chance that a person or machine could
trigger an avalanche today. Natural avalanches will also be
possible. If the sun comes out this afternoon, we strongly
suggest you resist the temptation to travel on or below slopes
over 30 degrees. 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 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.
