ever heard of hail cannons? from the bottom of the mountain they should shoot a vortex aiming at the top of the mountain to cause the avalanche to get it overwith before people go up to ski. this must had been a scary experience! if any mountains have artificial ramps they should make it hollow on one side so people can escape the avalanche by going under the ramps and let the avalanche pass. plus big hollow ramps would be a nice chillout spot.
@user-uy6uc5ey5q2 жыл бұрын
A timbered slope like this the smaller gullies and valleys would be almost impossible to get to with launched projectiles from the bottom - also the bottom of an avalanche prone slope is mostly the worst the location to be if it triggers as it will get the maximum amount of force on it from the debris flow. Plus your suggestions are massively expensive, skiing is already a very expensive sport, on controlled slopes, I'd prefer safer and less expensive control measures. If it not safe to run 'trigger' operations like shown in this, dropping chargers from helicopters is usually the preferred method.

@j.thomas71284 жыл бұрын
Depends on what just happened means... ya gotta make sure that another avalanche either higher on the mountain or deeper in the snow base is not going to happen and ya also wait for the snow to cool off. Weird right; wait for snow to cool? When an avalanche happens and the snow is moving down the hill, the friction of the snow bouncing against itself causes the snow to heat up and become soft, wet, and slushy. It could be like a huge slushy puddle which is why bigger avalanches flow like water. In bigger avies, if you aren't killed by the high pressure wave of air directly in front of the flowing snow, or by the mass of the snow itself, you could be trapped very close to the surface, but never escape because the snow freezes into a block of ice and you freeze or suffocate to death. Avalanches are no joke.

@j.thomas71284 жыл бұрын
@@gtownsurfcody the rule of thumb is: "The path of the slide is the path of your ride." Usually you don't traverse unless you absolutely have to. You're much less likely to trigger a second slide in the same spot, but it is possible so be careful. I moved from the E Coast to make Snowbird, UT my home mountain and have seen my fair share of accidents and tragedy. You have to respect and "know the snow." If you venture out for Backcountry or side-country skiing, then definitely take an Avalanche safety course. Even if you stay inbounds, it's still good to have the knowledge and not use it as opposed to not knowing when you need it.

@user-uy6uc5ey5q2 жыл бұрын
Avalanches happen mostly between 30 to 50 angles so this hillside looks to be prime in middle (hence why the ski patrol were doing mitigation work on it). A timbered slope actually can be counter intuitive as a risk factor. The trucks do provide some 'hold' capacity to the snow building up and acting like anchor points, ie they prevent a smaller volume avalanche from triggering, but put enough load onto a shear zone in the snow layers underneath, the trucks no longer can hold the load back. Having a larger volume involved are more dangerous, especially since anyone caught in the debris flow obviously can get slammed against trunks further down. Skiing in a forest isn't free from avalanche risk.
@carlmueller97012 жыл бұрын
The run is actually quite wide w/ very little anchoring going on. Notice it doesn't propagate much into the dense trees bordering the run. Any slop that has the gradient can slide.
