A very easy ski, especially when the road is open and one can drive high. I’ve done this several times. On June 16, 2009 (with Maggie Gaddis, Jonathan Kriegel, Tom Brennom, and Israel Broner) and the corn conditions were perfect. Attained the summit in sneakers using the rocky northern edge of the bowl.
On June 11, 2016, Randy Garrison and I skied off the summit of Peak 5, but except for the first 400 feet or so, it was too mushy to be fun.

The road switchbacking up to the saddle shows up nicely with snow on it.Peak 10 (left), Peak 9 (center), and Crystal (right) taken from the top of Peak 8 on May 27, 2011. And on June 11, 2011, Dave Blakeslee, Janet Jacks, and I found excellent corn on Peak 8; light winds, and enough snow to ski almost all the way back to the car at the bottom of Siberia Loop. Dave.Janet.The day on Peak 8 was fun: I climbed it solo from the “Otter Slide” trailhead, the first time in 20 years I had been to this summit. Made some nice tracks in the bowl.
