Blue-Bird Friday

Friday February 26th was another blue-bird powder day up in Alta. The Backside, Ballroom/Baldy Shoulder and Devils Castle all had 18″ of untouched powder from the previous 2 days. The patrol let us at ’em in that order, although we didn’t break out the camera until we got into Ballroom. This first clip is of Johnny getting freshies on the Ballroom/Shoulder rope line.
