Best move against that skill is just avoiding in the last moment. It will end it immediately. But guessing you might have played MH3 this might seem obvious to you. It works without exception for both ice and normal barroth. Trapping it works, but needs proper judgement. I see a lot of people messing up the traps because they place it after about 5 minutes after the monster entered the area or simply by spamming them early. Most monsters go to another area after 5 minutes. It feels kind of humiliating to see a monster leave just when you finally managed to set up a trap after a long struggle to find the right time.
