Comments: Excellent afternoon. Thanks to OldMan for his trailbreaking earlier in the day! I skinned up to the summit area where I barebooted. Then, skinned across the Sosman Trail. Skinning conditions were excellent on the packed powder - main traffic late in the day is skiers/riders on the uphill. I carried ski crampons but did not need them. Excellent views!

Used a splitboard - while assembling it near the ski area, a snowboarder coming up from the ski lift startled me asking me how conditions in the, "Tunnel Of Love" were - um, I paused and said, oh, OK, the Sosman.... He was on his way to the the summit with his board in one hand. Nice kid!

Below is a picture of the Tripyramids from the summit.
