Cain was Insane

sportnewk, Monday 27th February, 2023 8:20PM
<p>Skiing was insane at Cain. As other MINs reported there were a number of natural and human triggered slides up to size 2 in the West Bowl. We avoided the alpine due to strong winds Friday and Saturday. Trees held dry, low density snow. I triggered a size 1 slide at the entrance gulley of the 3oclock trees. Crown was about 35cm, 10m wide and ran ~60m. Photo from GoPro shows the slide running off the tip of my skis.</p>
