Wind Affect on Silver Peak

Snow below 6500ft still felt like dry sugar, but above that the snow become punchy and was slightly wind scoured as expected. Areas below treeline with fewer trees had a thicker crust on top. E and SE aspects seemed to show the most signs of wind scour and can be seen in the attached photo. I descended around 2:30pm and areas exposed to the sun had not softened up and seemed to have more crust than what I felt on the way up. Numerous test slopes showed no signs of instability.
