We hauled our skis up to about 11600 or so, intending to ski down most of the way. Turns out conditions weren't all that good for it above the packed road at 10,9--ish. So while I hauled my skis (and boots) halfway up the mountain, I only actually ended up using them on the packed (and mostly flat) road to the trailhead. But it was my first backcountry skiing experience. It's a start!
