 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. After recently noticing the trip report on this couloir posted by thinair I had to get after it.
My buddy Brendan (skibrendan) and I set out Friday morning at 7am from the Willowbrook trailhead. Since there was a recent report on this I'll keep the pics minimal, but I think you'll enjoy the video at the end.
