I'd say Goat is a double black only if you're taking it from the very top. If you drop in from the lower entrance (i.e., traversing across the top of National and Lift Line), then I don't think it's any harder then the various single-black bump runs at Stowe (Hayride, Chin Clip, etc.)

"The Wall" at Windham. Twelve, maybe even thirteen feet of the sickest terrain you'll find anywhere in North America. Check in with the ski patrol before dropping in, just to be safe.

I never skied OL in its glory days, but I completely disagree that it is a real double-black now-a-days. The only other one I've skied out of those is Downdraft which also isn't too tough (tougher than OL)... Yodeler is a beast though.

This year it hasn't been groomed to my knowledge. Obviously, if you were skiing the section that was groomed in previous years it would be much easier than the bumps.
