The largest artillery avalanche programme in the world
Since 1961 Parks Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces have run the world's largest mobile artillery avalanche-control programme at Rogers Pass, using 105 mm howitzers to bring slopes down deliberately.
The army is stepping back in 2027
After 65 years, the military will not renew its avalanche-control agreement at Rogers Pass. It ends in August 2027.
Figures describe Canada as a whole, not just the resorts we track. Skier visits are shown only where a national industry body or two independent reports agree.
