Avalanche mitigation @ Breckenridge
Avalanche mitigation @ Breckenridge

Wild video out of Colorado where passengers on Breckenridge’s 6-Chair got an incredible show provided by some ski patroller equipped with explosives. The slide which happened last Friday was part of avalanche mitigation operations aimed at open up the Imperial SuperChair (North America’s highest chairlift).
