Yep, I lived in Juneau for a long time. I can confirm Mt Roberts Thane road so where they usually do this at. Many times it’s the Airforce that does it. As Thane can and usually does get isolated from Juneau due to too much snow coming down Mt Roberts. So they do this as more of a preventative thing. They let you know months in advance though
