Hidden Lakes- should I bring skis?

Headed out for a night or two up towards Hidden Lakes Lookout. Found one recent report that indicated a decent amount of snow left:

I'm not familiar with the area, though, and was wondering if it was worth it to carry skis up there given that snow report? I figure if I can get a few hundred feet run down from the lookout or other high point, probably worth toating them along for the kicks!

Looks like a no to the skis to me!

If you're down for a full carry, it looks like good skiing off the NE side of the N peak (that's the peak above the lake in the photo).
