Alaska Safe Riders here with your weekly snow and trail report thanks to support from Matanuska Electric Association and this station. 

Continued warm temperatures and rain have caused havoc on trails at lower elevations all across south central, but the national weather service is forecasting colder temperatures and new precipitation are in the forecast.

North on the Glenn to Eureka, Lake Louise and Summit Lake, or North on the Parks to Petersville, riders are reporting deep snow and good riding.

Stay alert if your travel takes you in or near the mountains. Hatcher’s Pass, Turnagain Pass, Summit Lake, and Lost Lake are all reporting high Avalanche danger. Always carry the appropriate safety gear and know how to use it. Get current snow and avalanche conditions at Alaska_Snow-dot-org.

Numerous individuals have died in Alaska because they did not tell someone where they were going and when they would return.  When you travel in the backcountry, sharing your trip plan is critical.  A very simple trip planner left with a responsible person could be the difference between life and death.

Alaska Safe Riders are hosting a Mountain Rider Clinic February 15th at Summit Lake in Paxson. We will teach you the tools necessary to build your mountain riding skills and to manage mountain terrain safely. Learn more and register today at Alaska_Safe_Riders-dot-o-r-g

Stay safe out there and tune in next week for more updates and tips!
