4/8/15: Myself and Tele-Matt Shortland fired up Matt's 600 and sledded the Fairly lake road in hopes of finding some spring pow.
Matt Shortland nearing the summit of Sacajawea in the northern Bridgers.
After reaching the summit of Sacajawea, the two of us meandered south towards Nuya Nuki and the ski lines named Lazer, Tazer and Phazer. I really haven't done a significant amount of skiing in the North Bridgers, so I was eager to go poke around and see how the 'Zers looked. I chopped a cornice on I think Phazer(?). The snow appeared well glued to the steep entrance so I hopped in and skied the double fall line shot down into the lower part "The Great One.'
From the bottom of airplane bowl, I watched Matt ski the Lazer; a steep and very really narrow couloir that drops north of the skier's right side of the Great One.
With the snow skiing really well, we skinned back to the summit of Nuya Nuki for seconds and got ourselves some hero skiing directly off the summit.

On our way back to where the sled was parked, we got one more slice of paradise...
Thanks for a great day Matt and putting up with me riding on your sled. This has solidified to me that I really do need my own sled to ski up north more often!
