Lily sapphire col traverse. Travel was fast and efficient. -7 C at valley bottom, -11.5 C at 2500. Lily glacier HS 240-320+cm. Backside of Sapphire Col was filled in and provided easy travel. Asulkan glacier HS 280-320+cm. Widespread crust from recent warming cycle (no shit) EXCEPT on the NE aspect of the asulkan which skied beautifully considering the current conditions.
