Round Mountain N-NE

<p>Amazing powder riding but rapid transition from foggy and socked in to warm beating sun through the afternoon, forming light melt crust. 30-35 cm new snow on top of thin crust that ECT and column test showed to fail on crust, but no sudden planar movement or propagation (N-NE aspect, steep microfeature @ ~1600m). Several point releases in steep features as temperatures rose through the afternoon, appeared to be mostly skier triggered</p>
