Wow! Scary! Sick! Bad ass! Congrats, guys!
It's funny to read the comments on the blog. The non-climbers just don't "get it".
I have never been up there. I need to get a look from up there sometime. I spend too much time on El Cap. [not that there's anything wrong with that]

Eating lunch at Mirror Lake one winter when we saw Clouds Rest release!
When it got down to a choke point and shot away from the face like an
icy fire hose one low information tourist commented that they must be
emptying Tenaya Lake.

Oh for the love of God!! It would be one thing if the slopes were continuous and one could see below the slope-of-horizon as you went, but that slope steepens toward the bottom and it seems to me there are gaps and waves down low that would certainly be well beyond skiable if one didn't hit it just right. How could one stop? Either very scientific, lucky, brave, or flat-out wild and reckless. At a minimum, a combination of these. Congratulations!

I saw the Facebook posts and was impressed. Would be nice to see exactly/approximately where the descent went relative to the face.

Yowl!
I'm smiling at those "young-sprouts" doing something that seems so radical to many, but so logical to them.
They knew conditions were perfect and they could ski it------if they didn't "screw the pooch!"
Way to go-----Dooooodzee!
