We talked with Angus Thuermer from Wyofile about the avalanche exploders operated by WYDOT above two highways in Teton County. They can be activated remotely without putting workers in danger and allow snow to be safely removed if triggered. Unlike the large exploders on Glory Bowl above Teton Pass, the new O’Bellx exploders in Hoback Canyon can be removed, serviced, and replaced by helicopter.

We talked about the implications of this journey for wildness, humanity, and the intersection in between.

We talked about the paradoxes of identity in Wyoming and the nationalization of thinking within our state government.
