On our way down, we took the Laura Knowles trail instead of re-descending sunset ridge. This got us out of the wind sooner, and allowed us to glissade down some very nice bobsled-run like sections of steep trail. We were down to the lower junction with the sunset ridge trail in no time! From there, it was a quick hike back down the road to the car. What an enjoyable day!
