Abstract:

There are a dozen different technologies that can be naturally sub-divided into two very different avalanche control and defense paradigms that can be used to manage avalanche hazards on mountain highways: active avalanche control and passive/constructed avalanche defense. The Wyoming Department of Transportation’s (WYDOT) avalanche control and defense program in and around Jackson, Wyoming, utilizes five different active avalanche control technologies and one passive/constructed deployment of snow supporting structures. In this report, metrics of cost for these avalanche control and defense technologies are analyzed.
