If that includes mechanised usage permit for cat skiing for example, then it's a steal.

boredsurfin, no not at all, but Google Earth is my friend 
I grabbed the best pics that people had taken in the area after making sure they really were of the correct peaks
Looking at the paths from the overhead views I'd say the biggest vehicle you'd get up there would be one of those ride on mower type tractor things you often see in the alps, the thing where you can swap the rear unit for a load carrier or a rotovator/mower etc.
Personally I think the little plateau up there looks lovely and the views are great, but the path up there would in no way take something as big as a snowcat, Grosse Kingat is even more treacherous, not even a footpath goes up close to it.

You can definitely ski the face in the first picture. Several lines as well... Would get a bit tiresome though skiing the same lines...

Timmaah, Oh I agree you could ski that bit, just I think you'd find in the winter that the only way you'd get up there would be by helicopter, the footpath up to that plateau from the valley below is visible in google earth but I think it might well be too dangerous to attempt in winter

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Aaaaaaah ok, I gotcha now. Solution is to obviously pack supplies to last a winter and stay up in the plateau for 5 months on your own.... Simple? Right?

Timmaah, Hmm I like your thinking but 5 months solid of doing the same slope might get a bit boring  Especially as I suspect you will be using candle light and heating/cooking with a log fire and don't forget melting the snow for the water.
If there was a slightly safer way down with utilities available at the plateau and a choice of a few more ski runs I'd seriously consider the location.
