There was some very deep powder in Les Bouleaus. We did not try the regular approach. It looked too wind affected/lack of snow in the main entry. We worked hard to make a skin track up through the trees. This would be an area worth exploring more. We got a few good turns in where there was enough space between trees/bushes. There were some massive whoumpfs and settling of snow in this area on the steeper slopes.
