ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The 2022-2023 winter made for a tricky, wild, and unusual season for avalanches across the Kenai Peninsula and western side of Prince William Sound.
Given all the snow Alaska saw during the season — which caused frequent unstable conditions — recreators to the backcountry were both well prepared and lucky. “But it seems like the community at large was really good with recognizing the dangerous setup and then adjusting their use appropriately. So I think those are both factors. But then also at the same time ... I do really feel like we got lucky this year with how many involvements there were without more severe consequences. There are some serious injuries for sure, which is terrible. But a lot of those avalanches could have easily ended up in a fatality and they didn’t.
With three to seven feet of snow still on backcountry slopes, many will still be out recreating well into May. Schauer cautiously reminds those continuing to head out in search of late season snow to be even more wary of their surroundings, especially on steep terrain.
