Ok awesome! They use GPS and bulldozers and plows. That makes sense. That said, seems like they do wait for it to all fall then they carve it. Very fucking cool.

Damnit I replied before I read your second link lol. I went down a rabbit hole

That was such a cool read. Thanks for that, I've had a rough few days and to read that at 630 this morning set me right for some reason. Have a great day, friend!

Sometime in early March, a bulldozer specially equipped with both a GPS and a mobile satellite phone is sent up the mountain and over the Snow Canyon. The GPS and sat phone work in tandem to provide the driver a detailed video screen image of the dozer’s location in relation to the center of the snow-buried highway. This driver’s job is not to clear snow, but simply to lay out an accurate track of the road itself. Following the GPS dozer is a team of dozers that will begin the clearing operations.

Woah, it's real.

I would be too worried of it collapsing and burying me alive inside my car

Meanwhile, in my country an inch of snow shuts down the country

They also do this in Rocky mountain national Park

Great article, thanks!

Zufallstreffer, first match googling.

Yes, but you took the time to do it. Then you took the time to share the link, which got me to read it, which taught me about all the fancy tech they use to clear the road. I was ready to just call it a neat pic and move on, but now I got a lot more out of it. So....ummm...Schmetterlingseffekt?

Is this an actual word used in the Engliah language or is the german community on lemmy leaking again?

That's 30' of snow wall.
