avalanche
Snowslides on either side of Girdwood in early February stranded travelers and residents for about a week, half that time without electricity. When the snow was finally cleared, a stream of cars poured out of Girdwood, passing many of the broken power poles, above, along the Seward Highway toward Anchorage. (Photo by Bob Hallinen)
