Heh. Yes one can definitely connect the dots on that one. There is also a photo circulating about the internet of the same rope-coiled-cover-character ascending the Trap Dike with skis on his back. It certainly isn't a difficult line of reasoning to continue that it was then skied by said character after that. That's hardly a trip report though. Just (as I mentioned earlier [self Jimski?]), a whisper from the notoriously secretive ADK BC skiing community about their ski accomplishments.

The cover photo of Drew Haas' much-maligned book is, I believe, of a dude carrying a rope on the summit of Colden... make of that what you will.

I know Jan has at least done some recon up there.

Yeah. I saw that. Not to be too snobby, but that one doesn't get above the waterfall. To me that's an important distinction. I'm sure it was still fun.

Thanks all for the link to FIS Alex, and thanks for all the compliments. In addition thanks for that link and comment Matt! I agree with your sentiment, but also was not aware of that report by Nick.

The main accomplishment (I'll go out on a limb and speak for Ben here) we take away from this was that although we were 100% sure it had been skied, we had not really ever seen anything concrete about it. Before seeing the link to the TR from Nick, I had never seen a report or even so much as a picture of anyone skiing in there.
Here's another one I was able to find:
