Limited Signs of Instability on Silver Peak

It was beautiful on Silver Peak today, clear skies with calm winds were encountered throughout most of the day.  Around 4'' of recent storm snow exists on top of a firm rain crust.  Some light wind scouring had occurred from the overnight NE winds along the E ridge that revealed the firm rain crust.  Other than that, little signs of wind transport were observed with light to calm winds up to 8000'.  The bonding of the recent storm snow to the previous rain crust appeared to be good with no signs of cracking or weakness, just some minor sluffing in steeper terrain.  Steeper terrain provided scratchy conditions when hitting the firm rain crust with lower angle terrain providing more smooth and soft conditions.
