Country Road on 12/11/2013

So after years of looking at this chute from Snowbird I decided to give it a run.  I went up and took this shoot two days before.


Getting an early start, to avoid any sun on the above face, I headed up.  A guy on the internet said it took them a little over an hour - this was my mistake.  It took me an hour and 45 to get to the top, old guy problem.

The views from the saddle were amazing.

A view looking back towards SLC.


 A view of the Pfeifferhorn peak.


Looking up towards Grizzly Gulch and Alta - the end of LLC.
This could be the best photo I have ever taken.


With the temps on the rise because of my old ass it was time to get going.  The snow in the chute was amazing!  The choke was a little rugged due to rocks at the bottom.  The big scare of the day was hitting a few big rocks on the apron.

Thanks


 Thank You


I have now done three sessions in my new tank and everything is working great.

I wanted to thank everyone here who help me along my adventure of build my own tank!

I first wanted to thank Crash at Floatlabs  - where I did my first float ever.

I want to thank Lee at Samadhi  for the  inspiration and support.

And finally I  want to thank David at Oasis  for helping me with supplies and the plumbing system.

Thank you and all the other that helped me make this a reality!


And a special hats off to 

Mr. "Happy to Spend Your Money" Guy

In Goes the Salt

It a little anti climatic but this is what $1000 worth of salt looks like.


It took over 6 hours to dissolve the salt.
I did this in four sessions due to the size of the hot water heater.


This is 5 bags (50 lbs each) - it took 21 bags or 1050 pounds of salt to 
reach the correct gravity (1.27).


With all the salt dissolved now I just have to wait for it to reach the correct temperature 93.5.
It's starting the night off at 89.2.
Soon!
