"Every so often, Alaska Department of Transportation does some routine work to set off avalanches to avoid loss of life or property damage. They often use a device called a daisy bell to set them off, but not in this case. Huge explosions could be heard all day that rattled our windows, and I was told they used a howitzer."

    • This is a routine avalanches caused by professionals to prevent the snow from building up to extreme danger levels. Routine avalanches are done like controlled burns in dry forests. They are needed and prevent disasters. The routine avalanches are done by finding areas of dense packed snow and flying up in helicopters. They will place explosives throughout the Era, throughout the season in order to create mini avalanches to avoid the big ones. This is done in dry brush, rocky areas to prevent rock slides and in snowy areas where avalanches have killed. They cheer because like they said this one was successful. Meaning the experts have wanted this and have been trying to get a small avalanche to happen for awhile. If you lived in a mountain town you'd know how important this is as massive avalanches can completely wipe houses from the side of the mountain, bury you alive, destroy roads and cut off electricity and water lines. Even a destroyed road can mean shut off them emergency vehicles, food and contact with others. Don't shame people that clearly understand how important it is that controlled avalanches are done routinely to prevent death. They live by it they are clearly aware of why it's being done.
