Cain delivered as always with terrible ski terrain! There was a 15cm wind slab in the East bowl, with a 4cm thick crust below it. The wind slab was unreactive in tests, and the crust appeared to be bridging lower layers. we predominantly stuck to the trees at the top of East Bowl, and linked back into the upper T bar each lap.
