Gastineau Peak and the top of Snowslide Creek after Avalanche Control Work.

On the afternoon of Monday, April 13th, the Alaska State Department of Transportation and Public Facilities performed avalanche control work on Mt. Roberts above Thane Road using a 105-mm Howitzer located at the old Treadwell Mine site on Douglas Island. The black smudges occurred from that shooting.
