Little Cottonwood Canyon (LCC) and Alta Ski Area have a long history of avalanche mitigation. Utah State Route 210 is threatened by numerous avalanche paths as it weaves its way to Snowbird, the town of Alta, and Alta Ski Area. Today, with the ever-increasing popularity of skiing, there is frequently bumper to bumper traffic during the winter season. Avalanche professionals in LCC have a lot of pressure to keep the road and ski slopes open. The use of artillery for avalanche mitigation in the United States was started by Monty Atwater in Little Cottonwood Canyon in 1949. Since then, avalanche specific technologies have been developed worldwide, and utilized in LCC to perform avalanche mitigation missions. The first Wyssen Avalanche Tower in the United States was installed across the highway from Alta Ski Area by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). Alta Ski Area, UDOT, and Snowbird currently use howitzers to release avalanches. The U.S. military However, the U.S. military recommends that the avalanche gun program look for new equipment and ammunition, seek new solutions for avalanche mitigation. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2021, Alta Ski Area installed four Wyssen Avalanche Towers in East Castle to protect groomed ski slopes below. This replaced an avalauncher previously used for avalanche risk mitigation in this terrain. After one season of using the new RACS, Alta ski area proceeded to install five Wyssen Avalanche Towers on Mt Baldy replacing howitzer targets. With plans to install an additional five towers on Mt Baldy, in 2023, Alta Ski Area will no longer require howitzers to mitigate avalanche risk in the ski area. Wyssen Avalanche Towers have proved to be an effective and efficient solution to replacing projectile explosive targets at the ski area. They decrease the time needed for avalanche control which can lead to faster opening of ski slopes. With the installation of Wyssen Avalanche Towers to mitigate avalanche hazard at the ski area, avalanche mitigation can be conducted remotely, and Alta Ski Area employees can trigger avalanches out of harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Alta Ski Area, and neighboring Snowbird, were the first ski areas in North America to install Wyssen Avalanche Towers. Due to their effectiveness, Dave Richards, the head of the Alta Avalanche Office, calls them \u201ctrue avalanche hunters\u201c. This name bears historical significance as it was used to refer to Monty Atwater and his team as the first preventative avalanche mitigation program in the canyon. Wyssen Avalanche Control is proud to provide an innovative next step to Monty Atwater and The Avalanche Hunter\u2019s pioneering work in Little Cottonwood Canyon. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
