Soft and fast in West Bowl

<p>We had a fun day exploring around Mt Cain. We entered the day being cautious of wind-loaded slopes due to strong southerly wind. After a couple runs and slope tests we noticed some wind transportation but minimal instability in it. We tested kicking off cornice pieces onto steeper slopes before entering, which did not trigger anything below. Even the wind-transported snow seemed to have glued onto the snowpack, which consisted of about 10 cm of dry snow above moist snow. </p>
