Cautious at Cain

<p>Mount Cain received some new snow over the last few days, so of course we had to follow. We peeped just below ridge crest in W Bowl and are glad that's as far as we went! Significant winds have buried up to 80 cm's of snow on top of the ice crust from mid February. We got sudden results in our extended column test on this layer. With these results and the wonderful new snow, it was a pleasure to make our way down within the resort boundaries. If you want more info on the snowpack there right now look at @avcan_vanisland on instagram and watch our video. </p>
