Hatcher Pass

Put on your game face if you’re headed to Hatcher Pass today. Tricky avalanche conditions exist.

Small to large human-triggered persistent slab avalanches are possible at mid and upper elevations on all aspects. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. Natural avalanches are unlikely.

In the last 24hrs 3 of the 6 red flags for avalanches have been observed: Recent avalanches, shooting cracks, and collapsing(whumping). 

Even a small avalanche could have severe consequences, due to shallow coverage and rocks.
