The Avalanche Control team is relaxing now, but they earned it.

We all have a soft spot in our hearts for spring corn… but don’t be fooled… it is on a different level than powder. The mixture of our steep terrain, long cornices, and lots of Mother Nature’s finest snow increases avalanche danger. In our world, it means early morning explosives! Check out how our team of Avalanche Controllers dangle bombs over cornices, cut fresh powder and ski cut ridge lines all in the interest of your safety.

So next year when you’re getting your ski gear on listening to **Ba-Booms!**, remember that it represents two things… Safety and Powder.

Hopefully next year will bring more bombs than this year! Remember that dancing helps
