Avalanche
HUGE avalanche control on #BCHwy1 today. The control was necessary to reduce the snow load in the Lanark snowshed area. Pretty dramatic… Watch: pic.twitter.com/zvwu5lNzzW

Have you ever wondered why they close the highway for avalanche control? Well, wonder no more as this video shows you all that you need to know. On February 8th, BC Transportation closed the highway and triggered this MASSIVE avalanche near Glacier National Park, BC.
Why we close the highway for avalanche control….
A look at work yesterday near Glacier National Park, as the avalanche drowns the #TransCanada. Thank you for your patience. #BCHwy1 pic.twitter.com/pI42DXXVMj— BC Transportation (@TranBC) February 9, 2018
