Revelstoke to Rogers Pass

[lee5537]

They close the highway so they can blast down snow from the mountain side. I was once caught in a road closure, and had to wait over 6 hours.

These look like some of the biggest mountains in BC for sure.

why was it closed and how long was it closed for? road looked in ok condition.

[bcbackrider]

It was closed for about an hour for avalanch blasting on the eastside. There was a lot of fresh snow, but the road was well cleared.

They usually close it for a couple hours; though it can be closed for a few days. The problem often isn't the road, as much as the snow accumulations on the mountains above the road. Then, there are dangers of avalanches, and a detachment of artillery comes out and shoots a 105mm howitzer to bring down the snow in a controlled avalanche. Rogers Pass gets about 20 metres of snow per winter. Winter don't mess around in Canada, eh?

Beautiful yet dangerous route. Should be 4 lanes with concrete barriers.
