Blue Bird
It has really been a long time since we’ve had a full day of blue skies here in the Wasatch. We had received about 10″ of new snow the day before, so we were psyched to get out. The winds have been really strong as well so we knew we’d be lucky to find terrain without wind slabs or wind damage. We decided to head for a zone we felt might be a little more protected from the wind and has some terrain that we have been drooling over for years.

As Noah and Jason skinned up to the zone we could see the wind had been there and we'd need to pick our lines wisely.
Andy Jacobsen handed the camera to Noah and decided to find his way down this.
He found a way through somehow.
Andy post run letting us know that he had to ride on one ski to get through rocks.
Jason finding a rowdy line as he so often does.

Noah has an interesting way of holding his PB&J.

Noah got a little hurt on his last run when he found a patch of wind scoured snow, so we decided to call it a day. More snow is on the way, so hopefully we’ll be getting after it again shortly.
Andy and Noah took the photos.
