Cain you believe it's April?

<p>After yesterday's pow session at Washy, it was time to head north and see how that part of the island was faring after the latest storm. Up at Mount Cain we found the last 5 km of the road to be in poor travel conditions. The snow on the road is fairly deep, and while there are some tracks passing through it, it is not in good shape. Up top we found the new snow to be well-preserved, still dry and moderately light, with some wind affect. The 50 cm of new snow recorded at the weather station was up to 100 cm deep in some wind loaded areas. We saw several size 2 slab avalanches that had occurred during the course of the storm, however, in our snow pit we did not find any reactivity. We did manage to propagate a small crack along the West Bowl entrance cornice, but it was limited to the 5-10 cm of snow from the last 24 hours that was loaded to about 30 cm in that spot. While it may be possible to still trigger this most recent snow as a wind slab, it would likely be limited to loaded spots immediately lee of ridge areas. </p>
