Avalanche Control

Avalanche control refers to techniques used to manage and mitigate the risk of avalanches in mountainous areas, particularly for recreational activities like skiing and snowboarding. It involves assessing snow conditions, identifying locations prone to avalanches, and using methods such as controlled explosions or ski cutting to trigger small avalanches intentionally, preventing larger, more dangerous ones from forming. The goal is to enhance safety for individuals in high-risk areas, protect infrastructure, and preserve the natural environment while allowing for winter sports and activities to take place with reduced risk.
