Not to be confused with pain at Cain, an altogether less pleasant Cain experience.  I took my son up to Cain where we stayed in a borrowed cabin and generally checked things out.  There is still a lot of snow.  And bears – lots of bears…

enough to ski on still…not bad for July 30th!

Out first look into the West Bowl – I was stunned by how much snow is left!

The one time we were at the top of the hill with all our gear ready to ski, thismomma bear and two cubs changed our plans…

Cole gets all artistic with the camera

This is the back corner of my buddy Pete’s cabin.  In the winter, you have to step down 2-3 feet to get on his deck…

A better look at the Westbowl after the rain stopped.  You can still ski top to bottom!

There’s a pretty good chance I’ll be going up again next weekend.  Turns on snow in August are hard to resist…
