We brought a 30m rad line to ski FOD top down. The cornice is the size of bus or a semi atm so a 30m rap would not be enough. My partner found an entrance 30 meters to skiers right where we did not have to rappel in. Snow in the top panel was affected by wind but had many spots to take cover and set up a belay in case we needed to ski cut it. Middle section was not skiable when we went (too many exposed rocks), 50-55 degree side stepping brought us into the section where we could see our couloir to exit. The couloir was protected from the wind and skied very well. The fan was also supportive but the skiing was not the best.
