Heavy snowfall can be a beautiful sight to behold, but it can also cause treacherous conditions on the roads. Such was the case on the evening of April 25th, 2023 in Evergreen, Colorado, USA where a snowstorm had begun to accumulate roughly 2.0 inches of snow.

@jcosrangerjason, a resident of the area, captured a live shot of the snowfall and shared it on social media. The video showed heavy snow falling and a snow plow packed in the background. But the most eventful part of the evening was not caught on camera.

The author reported that he had to use his snow plow to move a rock slide from the roadway on Highway 74. The rock slide could have caused serious damage to any passing vehicles, and it was fortunate that he was able to use his snow plow to clear the way.

Rock slides are a common occurrence in the mountains of Colorado, and they can be caused by a variety of factors, such as heavy rain or snow, earthquakes, or even human activity. They can also be incredibly dangerous, and it takes skilled professionals to remove them safely.
