Itinerary description

We headed into the teeth of a storm for this one. We had selected this hike because we knew that we could stay below the treeline and save ourselves the exposure. Winds never got over 25 mph for the whole hike. We started about 7:20 am and the snow was just starting to fall as we headed up the Livermore Road. By the time we reached the Scaur Ridge Trail the snow was falling steadily. The wind did not become a factor until we reached the Pine Bend Brook Trail, where we donned our balaclavas and goggles. The trail was becoming mashed potatoes which made going rather tough up to the summit of North Tri and across the ridge to Middle. We did not spend more than 2 minutes on the summit of Middle. By the time we were halfway back to the col our tracks were completely gone. Back to the car by 2:40pm
