Trail: Liberty Springs had a few inches of powder down low, increasing to 8-12 inches at the ridge. I bare booted the entire route, although snowshoes would have been nice on the upper part of the trail.

Equipment: Snowshoes for most of the hike. Possibly crampons for the solid ice brook crossing.

Clothing: Light layer on the way up - shell gear at the summit only.

Comments: I was the 2nd (and only other) person on the Springs trail on Saturday. I met the 1st as he was coming down at 10AM! Thanks to him, saved me from breaking trail the whole way to the summit. The trail was unbroken powder before him.
