Aspendell,
California... This small community is threatened by two separate avalanche
paths which caused destruction in both 1969 and 1986. After the 1986 destruction,
the county produced a hazard map, which was completed in 1989. New construction is now required to include proper avalanche analysis and structural engineering.
In
connection with this study, a home has been completed by Maxwell and Associates
Architects and is featured here.
