We skinned in towards the mouth of Bouillon Basin and started heading up the wind exposed west face where we found (surprise!) really sketchy, very energetic wind slabs coupled with lots of wind transport cross-loading. We dug a couple of hasty pits, reinforced our fears, placed our tails squarely between our legs and retreated into the better protected confines of Bouillon.
Wonderful, right-side-up, knee deep powder was all we found in Bouillon, turning a concerning morning into an afternoon of pure bliss.
Ahhhh... :)

I noticed them like swarming bees at the lift cues, but I had no idea that THAT was going on!
