Wind effect on the snow surface of the Lily Glacier, moderate S/SW winds filling in tracks. Happy to have the rope on - a few sags seen on the glacier (did not probe HS). First few turns on the Dome side were wind affected but it skied better than it looked. Lower down had lots of preserved, dry powder that skied well. Widespread 7mm surface hoar at the top of the triangle moraine. Fine day out but coverage on the Loop Brook side is thin with a fair bit of alder to negotiate... still best to head up this drainage.
