I've skied off the tram dozens (hundreds?) of times.
If you are truly "an intermediate skier at best" the answer to your question is a pretty solid NO, unless the viz is perfect, and you're with somebody that knows their way around up there.
If the viz is great and you're with the right person, do it once. Go slowly and treat it as an adventure. Watch for rocks! Make a few laps on Shedhorn once you get over/back there. It gets used mostly as a return access lift, so the runs are often kind of under-skied.
