1 avalanche, as filed by the National Weather Service.

1 avalanche. Local standard time, as filed.
Avalanche on Snow Shoe Peak (20 miles southeast of Talkeetna) pushed a skier and a snowboarder over a cliff. Both fell 200 feet. The snowboarder was injured, treated and released from the hospital. The skier was killed. The skier was telemarking and was participating in a wilderness medicine course.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
