episode_narrativeSnowfall and strong winds resulted in 2 natural avalanches that covered part of Highway 550 at Red Mountain Pass. These slides initiated the temporary closure of Red Mountain Pass. Avalanche mitigation was performed and resulted in numerous other slides which covered portions of Highway 550. Red Mountain Pass was closed for about 28 hours while debris was cleared and avalanche mitigation procedures were performed. The natural avalanches covered a 90 foot stretch of Highway 550 about 3 feet deep.
