Thompson Pass: avalanche danger & snow

Valdez access corridor. Pin is the cited coordinate for this place, not a ski route or a hazard rating.

Coordinate: wikidata:Q1558006 · high confidence.

This is not a safety call. The danger rating shown is a one-word summary copied from the official avalanche center once a day. Conditions change by the hour and vary by aspect and elevation. Before you go into avalanche terrain, read the full forecast from the official center, carry a beacon, shovel and probe, and travel with trained partners. Snowfall numbers are computer-model estimates, not measurements.

Housing around United States

What seasonal workers usually pay, where to look, and public communities. Estimates are labeled. Nothing here is a listing we verified, and employee housing on a job post is separate from renting on your own.

What to expect to pay

We don't have a sourced rent range for United States yet. Resort towns usually cost more than the nearest city once the season starts, and a room in a shared house is the usual seasonal setup. Use the searches below, ask in a local group, and don't send a deposit until you have a name, a written lease, and a way to see the place.

No dollar figure here is on purpose. We'd rather leave it blank than invent one.
