In this webinar: Ever have your school close for a snow day? What if that snow day cost $500,000? Rogers Pass in Glacier National Park is a place where 10 metres of snow falls every winter, and over 130 avalanche paths could close the Trans-Canada highway at any time.  Join a Parks Canada avalanche forecaster from snowy Rogers Pass to get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep this road safe through winter. Learn about snow science individual crystals to avalanches; the big guns – the Canadian Armed Forces; and high tech avalanche detection – infrasound and Doppler.
