It's not very wide which makes it somewhat challenging. This couloir is pretty steep, needs lots of snow to be filled in, and it's not very wide.
We got to ski one of the most exciting couloirs around. Supremely stoked on getting that line in we both had permagrin the rest of the day. The trio, experienced in backcountry skiing and equipped with avalanche beacons, probe poles and shovels, was concerned about a wind slab in the north-facing line, so Wiener jumped up and down on the snow at the top of the route.
no comments yet. What Big Eyes You Have ; I originally heard about this couloir from a friend who skied it years ago, and then again from a friend who spent some time out in the Gore. As one drives South on Highway 9 towards Silverthorne, “What Big Eyes You Have” Couloir can be seen clearly.

Posted by 5 days ago. Sustained 45 degree pitch for the entire couloir descent.
After recently noticing the trip report on this couloir posted by thinair I had to get after it.

The wind was blowing hard on the morning of April 15, when the veteran backcountry skier dropped into “Oh What Big Eyes You Have” couloir. Skinned up the front face, skied down the couloir and skinned back around to the front.
