Besides the numerous avalaunchers, there is also one 105mm howitzer,
two 105mm recoilless, and a 75mm pack howitzer used at Alta/Snowbird.


The guns are also used for control work along the road in upper LCC.


Yes, DOT has several. Same here in BCC. But Solitude does it the right
way. Like real men. All hand charges. That's why they call Fantasy
Ridge the "Newspaper Route". Gotta give Ian and the boys credit on
that one. That's a gnarly route to deal with every day. Just walking
along the ridge gives most people the willies. And I don't have to
worry about incoming. It's bad enough when they control the Honeycomb
liftline. Let's just say when I get knocked out of bed by that, I know
it's time to get up and go skiing. Cuz it's a powder day.
