We skied the far east side of the north face of Boom mountain, as approached from the lake. We skinned most of the way up the fan before switching to boot packing for the steep upper section. While there was significant powder (20+ cm), the base at the bottom of the slope was highly faceted. Higher up the base grew more supportive.
The skiing was great where it was great, but there were many rocks just under the powder. This spot needs another 30+ cm to be able to ski without fear. Furthermore, a slide previously ran down the fan, making the middle of the fan quite hard and icy.
