Oh, and did we mention it's covering the only road out of town? And that the snow has dammed up the river behind it, creating a giant lake?
In a sign that Valdez would definitely be a good place to wait out any impending Apocalypses, residents are primarily concerned at the moment with whether the avalanches will interrupt their preferred form of recreation, heli-skiing (yep, just like it sounds, folks). They also note that, in the meantime, supplies can still make it into town by air or by water.
