Kanin 13/02/07
Another 40cm of fresh fell last night, again not the lightest of powder but 40cm is still enough to warrant you hurling yourself off things!
There are drops galore here in Kanin and because of the volume of snow we’ve been getting the bigger ones are just starting to see a little bit of traffic. No matter what is said between boarders and skiers it’s still super impressive to see someone launch themselves off a 60 footer.
I played around on a couple of drops (all well shy of 60ft!!!) and Sarah tried hitting a wind lip a couple of times but the highlight of the day was the off piste under the large cliffs. Shaded from the sun this run holds better snow for longer, although there are a couple of monstrous holes to be avoided (there’s a cave up here with a 1000m vertical entrance somewhere!) the small drops, rocks to pop off, wind lips and its length make this the best run on Kanin.
