-An '''avalanche snow bridge''' or simply '''snow bridge''' is a type of rigid [[snow-supporting structure]] for [[avalanche control]] ([[avalanche defense]]). [[Avalanche]] bridges can be made of [[steel]], [[prestressed concrete]] frames, or [[timber]].<ref>[http://www.fao.org/DOCREP/006/AD075E/AD075e09.htm Photographs of avalanche defences], [[FAO]] corporate document repository</ref> <ref>[http://www.fao.org/docrep/x5376e/x5376e04.htm "Avalanche and torrent control in the Spanish Pyrenees"]</ref>
-Snow bridges may superficially look similar to [[snow fence]]s, but they act differently. Snow fences are built vertically and accumulate snow on their downwind side, while snow bridges are slanted or horizontal hold snow on their top side.
-Snow bridges are fastened to the slope on the upslope side by tension anchors and on the downslope by compression anchors. <ref>[http://www.mairwilfried.it/index.php?id=33&lang=en "Steel snow bridges"]</ref>
