Discover the power of avalanches in Land of Thundering Snow. Propelled by gravity, snow avalanches are releases of snow that rush downhill in steep terrain, altering the landscape and ecosystem as they pass. Avalanches carve new patterns into the landscape, revealing fresh ground for species of plants and animals that thrive in slide paths.
The exhibit also emphasizes the impact that avalanches have had on human settlement, migration, travel, and transportation. From the mapping of railway and highways to the technological advances of avalanche mitigation, the story of avalanches encompasses the story of humans and landscape and ties them together for museum visitors in an engaging and interactive experience.
This exhibit has two large interpretive panels and many interactive screens and tablets as well as artefacts that teach visitors about avalanches and their impact on the environment and human history. It is on display until late September 2025.
