Had a free lift ticket so I rode the chairlift up a ways and skinned up the last third due to a wind hold on that chair. Sosman hadn't been tracked since this most recent storm, but once I hit the intersection with Tecumseh trail it was hard-pack to the summit. Skies were blue and views were incredible. As I'd hoped, the Tecumseh trail heading towards Tripoli road showed no signs of activity. Snow conditions were ideal and the skiing was fantastic. The final descent off of West Tecumseh is a tree-skiers paradise. Made my way back along Tripoli road for a while before cutting a more direct bushwhack line towards the ski resort parking lot. Was able to complete the whole route without taking my skis off once.
I HAVE ONE MORE FREE LIFT TICKET TO WATERVILLE WHICH I WILL MAIL TO ANYONE WHO WANTS IT AS LONG AS THEY PROMISE TO RECREATE MY ROUTE. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!
