News Home Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - The current advisory as of Feb. 26 is high, and expires at 7:00 a.m. Monday. After the recent large snowfall with continued outflow winds, avalanche danger remains high Sunday. Numerous avalanches have been cited around the region both during the storm event and yesterday with moderate outflow winds. The snowfall was very light and therefore easily transported. The forecast calls for increasing winds over the next 24 to 48 hours which should continue to trigger wind slab and potentially storm slab avalanches on varying aspects.
