“Find some powder along Libby Creek!”

— Ian McDonald

Driving Directions GPX File

Type: Backcountry or Sidecountry

Description

Start on Barber Lake Road, and follow the road until Barber Lake. Then follow the trail/road to the cabins, and keep going on the ski trail until the clear meadow on the hill above is visible. Cut over Libby Creek on snow bridges, and switchback to the top of the hill. Multiple ski routes exist down, and end at Libby Creek again. It is possible to double pole back on Barber Lake Road to the highway. About 6 miles roundtrip.
