Skied the Goat's Eye, BTL travel was tough, at TL up to 10 of fist snow on top of a supportive crust(made skinning hard). In Alpine the crust was mostly supportive to boots. The main path below the choke had slid previously but the climbers right side had a 10cm 4f windlsab with resistant planar hand shears. Choke was steep with some rock moves. Skied consistent the whole way down, sluff was running fast entraining the top 5cm above the choke, very thin just below the choke. Bring rock skis! Ski crampons and ice axe recommended.
