Explanation / Answer

Question 1

Answer is d spray the slope with shotcrete

spray the slope with shotcrete is the quickest way to remove the hazard from an avalanche.

This will help reduce hazrd of an avalnche and makes the slope stability, this slope stabilization provides a stronger slope and reduce hazards of mass wasting.
