Comments
Comments: About 1-3" of new powder from the storm earlier in the week. The first portion of the Tecumseh Trail had sticky snow, however upon nearing the ski trail vista, it was more along the lines of packed powder. Nice snowshoe track. Ascended via Tecumseh Trail to summit (right at sign...not popular in winter) - decent amount of blowdown, sideslope, etc. Left (Sosman) is a much better option, though there are some blowdowns/leaners (trimmed one). Still multiple feet of snow out there, with upper elevations having near peak amounts of snowpack.
