Way much nicer than hiking.
I will echo that it is best to go early enough in the spring to be able to skin up and ski down without hiking and earlier in the spring you get the most terrain. But before spring hits there is avalanche danger. Which of course limits the number of people up there so if you have the gear and the training and are okay with the risk, cool! Most people will probably find the best options in early April but of course that varies year to year.
