Most Alta locals have a good luck charm that is guaranteed to bring snow. Many times, this charm is a person. It's not uncommon to hear normally sane people (or sometimes obviously insane ones) use phrases like, "It's going to snow next week. Uncle Leo is coming to town." Rob Rowley is one of those people. Rowley lives on a 200 acre farm in Virginia, yet has a pass at Alta that gets used 30-70 days a year. He also has a knack (or talent) for arriving at the same time as the year's biggest storms. Powder.com borrowed local icon Johnny B. from altacam.com to find out the secret behind this Spademan-wearing former Southside Chicago gang-banger.
