The Hatcher Pass Avalanche Center (HPAC) experienced a relatively dry and cold January, allowing weak layers of surface hoar and near-surface facets to form. However, these layers remained inactive until late February when natural and human-triggered avalanches occurred. Avalanches breaking on persistent weak layers became deeper and more destructive through April. The winter of 2022-2023 in Hatcher Pass saw fewer avalanche incidents and accidents overall compared to previous years. HPAC provided avalanche advisories and published announcements throughout the season, and their avalanche education program reached over 1000 local high school students.
