Glory Bowl bombing

The second of three 40-pound bombs tossed from a helicopter by Wyoming Department of Transportation avalanche technicians explodes in Glory Bowl during avalanche mitigation efforts Friday on Teton Pass. A fourth bomb was exploded in adjacent Twin Slides. Though the charges did not propagate any slide activity, WYDOT stresses that human-triggered avalanches that could impact the highway below remain a possibility on these slopes.
