Actually Boullion Basin was Sunday. Were able to start skinning after about 10mins walk from the lot. Cut up from the trail to the ridge hoping to be able to ski down the back (Cement Basin?) but the only skiable area was the S side and that was heavy powder. Still, it was sheltered from the wind and a nice long run.
Today we skinned up from the Crystal lot (still possible) under Silver Queen up into Silver Basin. Not alot of untracked terrain, but enough for 3 laps in about 8" of very nice powder that held up for the whole afternoon. Saw about 6 other skiers and as many dogs. Great views.
