I skied there in/around January 1986 or 87. I was the only one of the five of us to go up. I rode to the top of Dercum's Gultch, (top left by the East Wall) from the bottom, via the two running lifts (names are the still the same). The wind chill was either -40 or -60; I honestly forget. They closed the mountain, as I recall.
I rode to the top twice, and to the bottom, where I re warmed, and did it again. I felt alone and stupid, but thrilled. You wanted to get to the bottom fast, but the faster you went, the more it burned any exposed areas on your face. I was fully clothed for it (Nordica Extreme one piece, plus X, Y and Z, but I guess I likely did it so that I could say I did, and perhaps, in those pre internet days, my sub/ultra conscious self did it so that I could now (on 8.26.12, 25-26 years later) write about it.
It was cold, baby! Cold!
