In winter you can skin from the road. After the sherbie is melted out... you use hiking boots to walk to the snow, carry your boots in your pack? Then skin when you get to snow?
Then on subsequent runs you boot it back up? (How does that go with a duckbill?) How do you get between the various runs?
Hiking boots until there is consistent snow and then you can skin. Though in May, usually there isn't enough skinnable snow to make it worth the transition of putting on your ski boots. Especially since you can't skin between HoJo's and the bowl in May (you can in early April, sometimes mid to late April in a good year). Hiking and skinning up on the TRT, not the Sherb. The fun (often comical) part of this experience is determining when there actually is skinable snow vs. a skin tease. When you get it perfect, you are loving life. When you put on your boots and hike up rocks for another half mile, not so much. Get to HoJos and hike to the bowl. From the bowl, climb, ski, repeat. Then down hike the whole flipping thing if the Sherb is melted out.
