... the future of ski mountaineering... a project being pursued by Oregon skiers is the one-day ski enchainment of the Three Sisters.
Done. Is this the first time? http://www.skiingthebackcountry.com/skiing_journal/2888/

its certainly been hiked more than a few times.... the Sisters 'marathon' was a pretty common summertime hike/climb among U of Oregon folk when I went to school there in the 90's.
I believe that the marathon has been done (on foot) sub-24 hours including the Sisters, The Husband, Broken Top, and Bachelor.

I don't know if it has been skied in a day before.
This 2009 NWMJ article by Kevin Grove described attempts to ski the route in a day. From the article, you get the impression that it hadn't been done yet at that time:

Kevin Grove and a friend just recently skied a five peak traverse in like 3 hours ;-). Apparently on the same day as the above post....

On reading Kevin's 2009 NWMJ article again, it's clear he was attempting a four-peak traverse in that story. So perhaps the three-peak traverse was skied some time ago.
