How to prepare for avalanches before heading to the mountains

Avalanche control is a critical safety practice in mountain regions where heavy snowfall can turn slopes unstable without warning. By triggering small controlled slides before conditions worsen operators can reduce the risk of large destructive avalanches that would otherwise release naturally during storms or sudden temperature changes. One of the most effective methods involves the use of artillery to deliver explosive force precisely onto known avalanche paths. This allows teams to release un
