Orca Bust

<p>Checked out Orca Bowl today. The approach was slow once we hit the road on account of the low snow. Base is very thin (30cm - 40cm in the forest), but solid, with a dusting of powder on top. Emerging from the woods at the edge of the bowl reviled that the terrain was significantly more bushy than we had hoped. Although we could have pushed our way through the alders into the alpine, we were worried about the forecasted 10°C temperature jump and decided to turn around. Big shout out to whoever pit in the new bridge. </p>
