IAG AST2 Feb 25-28

<p>Four days in the Cain backcountry with an Island Alpine Guides AST2. We were able to see and travel in a lot of terrain, including West and East Bowls, and 3 O'Clock Trees. Experienced the full gamut of conditions, from variable wind effected slopes on Friday, powder conditions in sheltered areas with strong E winds Saturday and Sunday, and a freezing level to 1400m on Monday (today) creating wet surface conditions, and moist snow down 10cm. </p>
