Conditions at Cain were as predicted by previous Avalanche Forecast. Natural avalanche cycle occurred Saturday. Snow stabilized on Sunday. Many pinwheel triggered slides in the trees (sz1) and were traveling fast on the previous crust. Larger (sz2?) slide occurred sometime Saturday on Sliders. Apparently skier triggered (word of mouth) but no skier involvement. Received snow at upper elevations and rain at parking lot. Snow became heavy over the weekend.
