Give it a shot and if they ask about the skis just say you're taking them out for some fresh air

But that's crazy there's still that much snow up there at the end of June

i dont think theyll let you up the gondy with skis in the "summer" season operations, but i could be wrong.

but you can def hike up with skis. its in a national park and as long as you have a park pass, you can basically go w.e you want with w.e gear you want.

What you need to do is take an extra setup there on last day in the spring and hide them in some trees. Then pray no one spots them, gondy up in June and profit.

Honestly though just drive to Athabasca glacier on the way to Jasper and hike up there. iirc some Source boards boys did that one day last June. Definitely a mean hike, though I did see some people not far off the highway hitting a small jump when I drove to Jasper last year
