CBJ Avalanche Advisory Update – January 5, 2026 (2:16 p.m.)
New snowfall, warming temperatures and high winds in the forecast are elevating avalanche risk in all known slide paths (see map).
This is not an evacuation advisory; however, conditions can change quickly and with little warning. CBJ will send out an emergency alert if an evacuation advisory is called. CBJ is prepositioning resources to prepare for potential emergency sheltering (Centennial Hall) as well as additional response resources should they be required.
DOT&PF reminds drivers to use caution while travelling on Thane Road and not to stop in the known avalanche zone.
CBJ will continue issue alerts like these if conditions worsen or major changes are observed. You can find current hazard levels at bit.ly/CBJavalanche.
This is not an evacuation advisory. Residents should know their risk, remain alert, have a go-bag ready, prepare household evacuation plans and stay signed up for emergency alerts.
