Summit of Fairview on skis, although had to use crampons to gain the summit as the snow was bullet proof. Warmer the higher you go. Skied down the bowl between Fairview and it's outlier to the SW, then up and onto Surprise Pass. The skiing was absolutely horrible but happy to have knocked this one off the ski to-do list!
