Yeah- in alot of situations, going up on skins seems not too different (in terms of speed and energy) than snowshoeing. Its the downhill portions of the trip that make skis a far more efficient means of travel than snowshoes. So, if you are going to be taking the skis off and putting on a board anyways... why not snowshoe? Skis are much easier than shoes over level ground because you can get some glide. If it's straight up on soft, sinky snow then I guess S-S would make a lot of sense, but anything much lateral skis should put you ahead.
