Surface Conditions
Surface Conditions: Snow/Ice - Monorail (Stable) 
Recommended Equipment
Recommended Equipment: Light Traction 
Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: All major crossings have open water. Water levels are low and crossings are fairly easy but stepping on submerged rocks is unavoidable. A few tributaries are bridged but the bridges are becoming unstable. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: A handful of blowdowns but they easy to pass. Some "leaners" at higher elevation but also easy to pass.  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Plenty of water and a solid mono-rail - perfect conditions for the 4-legged and Cinnilla had no trouble anywhere.

Comments
Comments: Microspikes door to door and the snowshoes earned another free ride.

The monorail is still solid and well defined although less so on the ridge between the 2 peaks where an inch of fresh wet snow made it less obvious.
