Narrative:

Problem: incorrect taxi route from transient parking to the active runway resulted in runway incursion. No traffic conflict resulted. Taxi clearance did not specify a route, so I proceeded to the active via most direct route. Snow bank obstructed the runway intersection, so I taxied onto the active, then proceeded down the runway (back-taxi). Tower observed this and issued clearance to taxi on the active and make a 180 degree turn at the departure end. At this point, I realized the taxi error. I should have confirmed the route that ground control expected me to follow, prior to beginning taxi.
