I called the resort and they will open the lifts at 7 or 8am. Is the rock/ice fall too dangerous if we start skinning/climbing from the top of the lifts at 7:30 or 8:30am?

I am planning to ski up and down Mt Hood June 1st or 2nd. I was wondering if the lifts are still running to save a couple thousand feet of elevation gain at that time. If so, is it worth waiting until they open (9am?) or better to do an alpine start.
