The rapidly approaching #CanadianElection isn't a certain win for either major party. Polling favours the #Liberals due to interim PM Mark Carney's handling of the US's aggression, but it's missing the returning #snowbird niche. In 2 days I've heard 2 stories from that group: one who hates every dollar "lost" to Liberal policies, has Florida property and is open to ideas like "one Canada-US currency," and another whose car with Quebec plates was vandalized in FLA, who fears invasion.

I'm concerned with how the next couple of years in the US will play out so I'm playing with the idea of delaying cabin construction. I'll have the camper van and the land but maybe I should put in just a shipping container for storage and a deck (AKA a "van dock") for hanging out between adventures.
When it's truly cold in NY I can van-camp my way down to Arizona.

Rocky Mountain High

This image was captured from the back side of the Snowbird as the clouds were breaking up after a large snowstorm. I set this shot up from just below the chair lift looking east. I'm not exactly sure of the name of these peaks but from looking at google maps/earth I suspect that these are called the twin peaks. See the full image here: fineartamerica.com/featured/ro

Rocky Mountain High This is an image of a couple of mountain peaks of the Rocky Mountains as captured behind Snowbird Ski Resort outside of Salt Lake City in Utah. The mountain peaks are the main subject in this image and they take up about 80% of the image. In the lower portion of the image there are some pine trees and they grow on the lower ridge following all the way around the lower part of the image and continue part way up the ridge line on the right. I'm not sure if they stop growing because that is where the tree line ends or if the mountains are just too steep to hold any trees. The mountain is covered in thick snow and the sky is partly cloudy.

Avalanche III

This frame shows how the snow starts to spread out after landing in a bowl on the mountain.
If you look at the leading edge of this avalanche you can see that it is not actually rolling down the mountain as you would think. It actually seems to be accelerating underneath the surface layer and blowing the fresh powder upwards. See the full image here: fineartamerica.com/featured/av

Avalanche III This is the third image in a series of an avalanche I was able to capture form the top of a ski lift at Snowbird resort in Utah. In this image the main chute of the avalanche has landed in a natural bowl and is starting to spread out as it continues down the mountain. It appears that the avalanche is occurring under the surface layer of snow and is pushing the snow upwards and outwards.

Cornice Blast

A few years back I was out skiing at Snowbird Ski Resort in Salt Lake City and we had a tremendous amount of snow the day that we arrived at the resort.
The ski patrol was knocking down avalanches all night. After arriving at the top of the first chair on day 3, I was able to witness this explosion carefully planned by the ski patrol. See the full image here: fineartamerica.com/featured/co

Cornice Blast This is an image of a controlled explosion on a mountain ridge at Snowbird Ski Resort. The ski patrol had been out working all night knocking down avalanches with their howitzers and other means. On the first run of the day people were being held up at the top of the chair so the ski patrol could eliminate the avalanche risk. At the top of the ridge line the ski patrol had set up what looks to be roughly 30 or so charges across the cornice and then fired them all off at once. I captured the charges just as they went off and the snow is just starting to break loose from the mountain.
