Avalanche Control Explosives Used on Red Mountain Pass

News Link

Red Mountain Pass is on the highway between Ouray and Silverton and has been subjected to many avalanches and major rock slides. The most avalanche-prone areas have concrete sheds constructed over the highway for short stretches, but sheer rock faces at 35 - 45 degrees tower above most of the Red Pass section.
