The majority opinion finds support and comfort in Newton v. Magill (Alaska 1994), 872 P.2d 1213.I find it informative, however, to point out that the facts involved in Newton are entirely different from the facts involved in the case before this Court. In Newton, the landlord had constructed a wooden walkway from the front door of the house, six feet long and five feet wide, without a handrail, virtually uncovered, and with no “anti-slip” material on its surface. The Alaska premises was located in Petersburg, where persistent rains resulted in a constant drizzle except in the summer when the rain is intermittent and the wet climate fosters the growth of plant organisms on exposed wooden boards causing them to become dangerously slippery when wet.
