This photo illustrates this season's huge avalanche conditions. This image was shot one week after the entire BackSide slid to the ground. So, with backcountry terrain off limits for now, the following photos document a sunny and cold (5 degrees) day within the boundarys of Alta. Beth, Aaron and myself moved as far away from the Devil's Elbow to find these turns. It is also worth pointing out that on this particular day, there is just one photo of Beth, as she was not the most cooperative local! In fact, her Burnin' Loves would often take her in the complete opposite direction of the poised and waiting camera. . . . . as I look back on these photos taken a couple of weeks ago, it was sure worth the damn cold.
A cooperative local, Aaron Stanford and his white visor rocking some turns and high flying through the air. These two images are taken from the exact same photo, which exemplifies the power of cropping an image. Do you prefer the horizontal or vertical cut?
Beth caught in action
horizontal. although, the white balance seems a little off.
