Round Mountain
Sea To Sky

Just to add to the previous MIN from today: We skied the trees on the S side of Round and they skied great. About 25cm of storm snow was running easily in steeper sections but not propagating, or sliding as cohesive slabs. That said, we did a few hand shears at the point marked by the pin on this report, and that top 25cm of snow slid as a slab that ran easily on a 3cm breakable crust. The crust was very easy to break in my hands and we didn't notice it while we skied. We didn't find that crust on the N side of Round and the snow was deep and heavy.
Hand shears produced 25cm storm slab that popped easily on a 3cm breakable crust.
