Don't know about conditions currently, but the best way down minus skis is the summer hiking trail which is climber's right. The fastest is the luge run, but that makes it your last run.

There's a shallower couloir than sky walker one over called streetwalker which can be a safer glissade.

As for climbing it might be a bit early for sky walker and the road is surely still closed.

Road is closed, probably another 5 or 6 weeks until it's completely open barring another big spring dump which could happen tomorrow. Full on spring corn conditions up high on southern aspects, lots of wet avalanche action happening now, I'd wait until the end of May to climb it unless you planned to ski it as well.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
