ASP.net MVC - ViewModel object and Session variables

Question

Say I have the following situation:

A paginated View displays a list of contacts with the following route: Contacts/Index/Page/2.
The View gets its paginated data ViewModel object.
The View also gets its filter properties from the ViewModel, like the Contact Category.

I would like to store the page number and the filter properties somewhere in such a way that when the user returns to Contacts/Index page, the same page number and filters are applied.

Is it good practice to store these properties within a Session variable? Should the ViewModel be handling these Session variables?

Is there another way to tackle this type of situation?

if you want to have the same filters/page after you have returned from another page back, then you must use session, there is no other better way

This is how I had to accomplish the same thing. User performs a search, then edits one of the items from the search, possibly a sequence of multiple pages, and in the end must be returned the original search results. Session variable for the win.
