 | Comments: |
Snow/ice was intermittent for the first mile or so. We put on spikes and then removed them twice. Then switched over to snowshoes after the view for the televators. The right side of the summit loop didn’t look that well broken. Sosman Trail hadn’t seen any snowshoes in a while. Snowshoes were definitely needed on Sosman as things were getting quite soft and hadn’t been packed out. Now that the ski area is closed for the season, we brought our LL Bean sonic sliders and had fun sledding down the ski trails. It was quite slushy and wet and melting fast, but tons of fun. What a way to finish off Tecumseh for the Grid! 572/576 |
