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.
