CF Howitzers Clear the Way

The Lookout has an article about Canadian Forces artillery clearing avalanches from passes in the Rocky Mountains.
For 50 years, the soldiers from CFB Shilo, Manitoba’s 1 Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (1RCHA) have rotated through the winter months, securing 105mm Howitzer guns to platforms and shooting into the mountains to stimulate an avalanche.
