Lab Logistics

This is a beginning list of lab logistics. More will be added in time.

Gannet has put together a gear list to bring for your stay at the lab. If you are planning on staying at the lab, please check it out.

1. Everyone must shovel snow to make water for the lab. The tank into which the snow is melted must never be empty. (Check this every 3-4 hours).
• turn filter on
• do not drink this water
• use water sparingly!
2. To run water at sink, make sure pump is on (switch behind the fridge)
• make sure pump is turned off when you leave
• if water container under sink is empty, fill with water from the big tank directly.
• this is the same for the water in the bathrooms
3. Turn off all appliances when not at the lab
4. Leave the thermostat alone... it's warm to prevent the pipes from freezing.
• the digital reading is the temperature of the pipes. Check every so often to make sure that the pipes are not freezing
5. The Toilet
• The toilets at the lab are incineration toilets. We will discuss the use of the toilets when the samplers are running.
• Make sure you read the directions on the wall before using for the first time.
• The toilet is loud and burns for 3 hours.
6. Trash- ski down as much as possible.
7. The last lift up is at 3:00pm. Don't miss it! If you are at the bottom, you must start heading up by 2:00 to make it to the lab in time.
8. There is a gym with hot springs in town. This is the place to take a shower.
9. When driving, leave your car (with the keys) at Slope Maintenance
