Learn more about winter driving. Q. When do crews try to conduct avalanche control on Stevens Pass? A. We do avalanche control on Stevens when the avalanche chutes fill and are a safety threat to the highway below. Under ideal circumstances we can schedule our control activities between 3 and 6 a.m. so we have the least traffic impact. Again, when everything works right, traffic only gets held up for 20 minutes or so at a time. The avalanche crew will shoot, the maintenance crew will plow anything that reaches the roadway, and then they’ll reopen the roadway to traffic.
