Conditions: Icy/crusty Livermore Rd; icy crust with good support for snowshoes on Scaur Ridge Tr (a few postholes in the trail though); ice & lots of postholes in the steeps on Pine Bend Brook Tr (PBB). Very few blowdowns anywhere. Lots of little twigs on the flatter sections of all trails - not much to physically move.
Special Equipment: I skied Livermore Rd. It really isn't skiable; there are large patches of ice and frozen crust. It didn't save any time but was a break from the usual. For the downhill I mostly "snowplowed" tho it was over mostly ice, which may be one of the reasons nobody was out today.
I snowshoed Scaur, PBB, & Mt Tripyramid Trail to Middle Tripyramid & back to ski out on Livermore Tr. Once the snow comes, there should be good snowshoeing on the nice solid base.
Comments: Pleasant day to be out; temperature started at 30 this am and was 15 on the summits; light breeze and excellent views!
