First up and first down today. The trails were very fast today and well packed. I wore microspikes from start to finish and my friend barebooted the whole way. Minor ice between the last water crossing and the view from the ski slope. We opted to take the Sosman Tr to the summit then descend along the Mt. Tecumseh Tr. The upper .2 mi of the Mt Tecumseh Tr had a couple inches of drifted snow but was firm beneath. 3 degrees at the summit with a light wind.
