Overcast much of the day. Strong winds on the Bonney side of Lily Col but very calm once on the Swanzy side of Lily col. Found 4-6 inches of rightside up snow on the Swanzy SE face. Maybe halfway up the face there was a punchy windcrust. Face skied without issue, though the more enjoyable snow was on the lower face where less wind had gotten it. Got some isolated cracking on kickturns while skinning up to Sapphire Col.
