How did it go? I'm going this coming weekend, June 14 or 15. I'm thinking of bringing skis. Good idea?

I'm headed up the south route tomorrow night with some friends who will be using crampons. I'm debating whether to use crampons alone or to bring my skis. Skiing is a much better way down, but if the surface isn't skinnable on the way up or carvable on the way down, typically not worth it. We will be setting out in the night, so snow is likely to be hard. Advice? Any recent trip reports that have yet to be posted?
