Thane road slide reported

Back up to ‘High Danger’ in Wednesday’s Urban Avalanche Advisory with a likely probability of a small to medium slide in the next 24-hours.

CBJ Emergency Programs Manager Tom Mattice says there was a slide along a Thane road avalanche path at about 10:55 on Wednesday morning. But it was not big enough to go all the way to the road.

Mattice warns that windloading and significant rainfall will combine with rising freezing levels for the start of another natural avalanche cycle.

Mattice cautions Juneau resident to avoid avalanche zones. Don’t walk or park in those areas. Avalanche zones include the gated area of the Behrends neighborhood, The Flume and Perseverance Trail, and the avalanche prone sections on Thane Road.
