Interesting viewpoint on Mt. Tecumseh trail

On my many trips up Mt. Tecumseh I almost always use the Sossman Trail to reach the summit. Last November I decided, for a change, to go up by the Mt. Tecumseh Trail. Resting after a steep pitch I turned around and, through a small opening in the trees, saw


Zooming in I saw that it was the plateau where several ski lifts meet and where the Schwendi Hütte is situated:


I returned today and the opening is still there, with Sandwich Dome in the background:


Zooming in on the Hütte and High Country ski lift:


Today was a very hazy day, none of the pictures of more distant features turned out well

Just checked Steve Smith's blog, and found his THE QUIET SIDE OF TECUMSEH: 7/2/10. After summitting from Tripoli Road he continued down the Mt Tecumseh Trail to the Sossman Trail, and found what he called a "peek-a-boo view of Sandwich Dome" very similar to the one I saw.

I really liked your first shot with what i assume were snow guns running. Looked like interesting clouds to me at first glimpse. Before and after, or then and now, shots are fun.

It was the snow making, rather than the "peek-a-boo view of Sandwich Dome", that initially attracted my attention. Since I usually go down from Mt. Tecumseh by a mixture of service road and ski slopes I am very familiar with the plateau on which the Schwendi Hütte is located, so I waited until I got a decent view of the Hütte.

Cool!

I have the same picture, took it back in Feb 2007.



I thought it was a fairly unique viewpoint, glad others have seen it.

I remember seeing that when I did Tecumseh. And as a skier some time ago
