    LCC photos needed

    So I'm going to include a unit on avalanche awareness the my high school geology class that I'm teaching.

    As part of the final assignment for the kids I'd like to give them a USGS topo map and pictures of an area and ask them to identify the most slide-prone areas and an appropriate ascent and descent route.

    I've decided on the area across the street from Alta (from Grizzly Gulch to Mt. Sup.) as being an ideal site due to the wealth of data available.

    However, I've yet to come across just the right photo. If anyone could help me out by posting here I'd appreciate it (old TR's, scenics from High Rustler, etc.).

    This thread is cool for two reasons:

    1. 'cause that'll be the sweetest lesson ever.

    2. 'cause a bunch of people chimed in with good stuff to help out a teacher and his students.

    Seriously. I was fucked up out of my mind the other night and *briefly* considered waking up one of the girls and telling her I kinda like her. Sidenote: There are NO remotely attractive women in this town and I've lived here 2+ months.


    Thanks for all the help. I'm totally procrastinating on grading by planning this lab/unit.

    nhtele,
    I have some great sequence shots on paper from Hellgate sliding. I held down my shutter and I have 16 shots of it coming down and crossing the road. The same goes for Superior I think I have 17 shots. Both were after a huge dump in January 94.
    I will try an scan them today.

    Well, I was whiskey drunk and listening to Slayer the other day and as a result considered resigning. So I guess, no.

    Need help posting the slide pics!

    I started scanning the pics last night and I can't seem to re-size them small enough.
    Let me know if anyone has any advice, or if I can email them to someone who has the know how to post them.
    Thanks

    You might be alright with the teacher student relationship in Europe. I've got a mate who went over to Germany to teach English and hooked up with a student, he's 25 and she was 19. Then again, another mate of mine, teaching English in Japan, got sacked for fucking his students (ages unknown).

    GRRRREAT motivation to go into teaching. I joke about it plenty, and I ain't gonna judge here, but you have to conciously not think about your students in this way. You find them hot, 'cause you are human, but you're not doing your job if you are focused on any kind of attraction.

    Long after they are your students- that is an entirely different story. And I'm no hypocrite, I broke up with a long-time girlfriend and began teaching grad-students at the exact same time. I haven't had the cojones to indulge yet, but I sure-as-shit consider it all the time with now-former students.

    NHT- I will say that a Swiss, girls boarding school has gotta be pretty rough on the ol' concience. Best of luck, masterbate often.
