Avalanche control gunners aid Rogers Pass highway project
Winnipeg based 2nd Field Regiment RCHA conducts round the clock avalanches suppression in Glacier National Park using 105 and 75 mm howitzers. The program, a DND and National Resources collaboration, aims to protect the Rogers Pass trans‑Canada highway slated to open in 1962. Soldiers including Lt. Grott and Sgt. Fisher operate under glaciologist Noel Gardner who warns Rogers Pass is the continent's most dangerous snow area.
