This is the amazing moment officials in Alaska triggered an avalanche to combat snow hazards.

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities praised the 'outstanding efforts' of its Juneau crew for their work on January 17.

They said the team demonstrated 'exceptional skill' by bringing down several avalanches to minimize hazards above Thane Road, resulting in the prompt reopening of the route to traffic.

Notably, the controlled avalanches were so effective that some powder clouds extended across Gastineau Channel.

The crew's swift and precise action underscores their expertise in managing avalanche risks and ensuring the safety of the public.
