As you know, we've had PLENTY of snow this winter! The MOW guys have been working hard to clear the line in the upper Animas Canyon including having avalanche charges dropped from a helicopter to bring the slides down. Around noon today, the track was cleared all the way to Silverton!
MOW Troy Lass provided me with some photos taken April 2-8 of some of the work involved.
