Yeah the Villard is on the NE aspect, next to Early Morning Couloir (has someone skied that?) I have rarely seen it runneled, except for below the couloir, but I suppose I'm usually elsewhere by late June.
For a party, show up at the base of the Villard G. on Memorial Day weekend with a half-case of beer and a lawnchair. It has been a pilgrimage for 20 years now for many.
Matt- You've probably found a better way in than I have then. The snow block is usually 3 miles from the trailhead at a "y" in the road. Maybe taking the right instead of the left would get me closer, never thought about getting in elsewhere than pole creek over there.
