By far the fastest is skins with skis on and an AT style binding. Are you just looking for early access to the lifts or are you looking to get into the backcountry and tour?

The main problem with snow shoes is you are packing your ski boots up somehow. Transitioning sucks, your boots are going to be like rocks when you put them on.

If you must boot pack, these may be good option for you.
