Able at Cain

After failed attempts due to logging activity at both Mt.Alston and Macqilla, we swiched to Plan C and a took a quick jaunt up Cain and into West Bowl. There was 5 to 10 cm of moist new snow that softened up the surface and made for really fun creamy riding. Conditions were near whiteout when we reached the alpine and we saw no new avalanches, just some pinwheeling on steep slopes. The new snow was quite stuck onto the old suface and we found no evidence of wind slabs near ridgetop. With all signs pointing to low danger, we felt safe exploring the steep, comitting and complex terrain in West Bowl. A great day out, happy we were finally able to find somewhere to ski!
