Snow fences on KitzsteinhornPortable snow fences in Austria
A snow fence, similar to a sand fence, is a barrier that forces windblown, drifting snow to accumulate in a desired place. They are primarily employed to minimize the amount of snowdrift on roadways and railways. Farmers and ranchers use snow fences to create drifts in basins for a ready supply of water in the spring.[1] Ski resorts also use snow fences in order to increase snow depth in specified areas, or for avalanche control.
