Peter Schaerer Photo Collection
In 1957, Swiss engineer Peter Schaerer arrived in Glacier National Park. Peter was responsible for the design and location of avalanche control works and static defenses in Rogers Pass, and was an important member of PWGSC’s Snow and Avalanche Survey crew. In the winter of 1965/66, he was tasked with running an avalanche research program. These are his photos.
