Meatheads did it a few years ago in their movie documentary "Epoch". It's pretty rugged, you have to get permission from the state park (which is nearly impossible) and you can't bring sleds all the way in. It's something like a 15mile hike in just to get to the bottom of the mtn. Def. some rugged terrain though, pick up that movie its pretty interesting.

Fuck that. I've been to the top, It's so amazingly death. All the rocks are huge and pointy, and if you fall you're going over a cliff or many (onto more pointy rocks). I'm not completely sure about this, but they might even close it down in the winter.

absolutely impossible to ski the knife edge (3rd picture) the skiable line is skiers/hikers left of ur first pic, an old rock slide known as the saddle. good luck hiking in, better sharpen the toes of ur ski boots for the way up too
