Active avalanche control plan
Explanation:
avalanche control plant


South Central Avalanche Control
Purpose and goal: To decrease hazard to motorists from avalanches, and to reduce highway closure time caused by avalanches and avalanche hazard.

An avalanche is a snow slide. A simple explanation is that the snow on a slope will slide (avalanche) when the snow strength can no longer support its own weight.

Active avalanche control is the intentional triggering of slides. This control work is done to minimize the chance of natural avalanches into traffic. Avalanche control work is done all over the world; by highway departments, ski resorts, railroads, mining operations, utility companies, and other activities threatened by avalanches.

WSDOT does avalanche control to force snow to avalanche while traffic is clear of the hazardous area and snow removal equipment is on hand.
