NOTE: SNOWSHOES OR SKIS REQUIRED ON LIVERMORE ROAD DURING SKI SEASON
Nice solstice day out to take in the views and summit. Fairly packed on Livermore Road due to cross country ski grooming. Once on the Kettles Path, the trail was not broken and it was fine barebooting with the snow being ankle deep. I put on Microspikes when it gets steep right before the Scaur junction. With cold dry snow, nothing is getting packed down.
