While we had an easier exit, it was by no means "optimal". Got one more option in the works that we'll have to try next time. Got up there again this past Saturday to find the optimal exit point.

If it weren't for the scratch-fest through the creekbed at the end, I think I'd be up for it again. The Northwest-facing slope we skied down would be good skiing all year long, and especially nice with some additional snow. It was a fun bit of exploration!
