Snow Fence
Also:
1. A fence built in the fetch region of a wind area to inhibit snow drifting.
2. A fence built in the starting zone to inhibit glide and/or avalanche formation.
There is a three-page sequence on Wind Transport of Snow in our Education Center. (And three additional supplemental pages available to members.)
