Maple Leaf Powder Company

⸻

At Maple Leaf Powder Company, innovation has always been at the forefront.

For decades, MLP has been trusted in some of the most challenging environments — from mountain highways to remote mine sites — delivering safe, effective, and reliable blasting and avalanche control solutions.

That same spirit of innovation led to the creation of the Sentinel System: a UAV-based avalanche control platform now protected by both U.S. and Canadian patents. The Sentinel replaces helicopters, artillery, and other outdated methods with a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable approach.

With nearly 50 years of explosives and avalanche expertise behind it, the Sentinel isn’t just an idea — it’s a proven system already tested in the field.

MLP: where experience, innovation, and safety come together to define the future of avalanche control. 💥

Innovation in action.
The Sentinel System delivers precision avalanche control from the sky — safer, faster, and proven in the field.

Proud to be working along side the experience of MOTI Spencer King and Roctech’s Ken Steitzer.
Teamwork is what is needed to repair this broken stretch of Hwy after a natural slide.
Looking forward to seeing this Hwy re open soon

Thompson Pass is world renowned for its winter sports and it’s quite possibly the MOST beautiful place on earth 🌎 🦄🦄🦄 With all that beauty comes a lot of snow, and with all the snow, the pass experiences frequent avalanches.❄️🏔️❄️🏔️ Our avalanche coordinator, Tim Glassett works with Maintenance & Operations operator, Kyle Sobek, to mitigate avalanches—making the roads safer for you and your skis, sleds, snowshoes and snowboards. @lordhuron @djipro @djiglobal Have fun out there and be safe! #powpow #keepalaskamoving #operator #avalanche #drone #avalanchemitigation #avalanchesafety #transportation #thealaskalife #snow #skiing #thompsonpass

Excited to announce that Sentinel 2000 is now ready for field testing!

Capable of carrying a 2kg Pentolite payload.

The system lends itself well to ski area control situations and is adaptable to various operational situations depending on the user and jurisdiction.

Pilot projects are finally underway!

Highway 1 Shuswap at Tappen, BC four-laning and realignment.

The BC government continues to implement much needed safety upgrades to all highways throughout the province.

Proud to be working with Emil Anderson Construction to improve safety along this stretch of highway.
