	Surface Conditions:	Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Unpacked Powder

	Recommended Equipment:	Snowshoes

	Water Crossing Notes:	Open water but low water levels. All crossings are easy step-overs.

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	I removed a few minor blowdowns. There are 2 more significant blowdowns close to each other about 1/4 mile from the first bridge. The first is really blocking the trail but an easy trail around it has been formed.

	Dog-Related Notes:	Conditions are good and it was a fine day for Cinnilla. Crossings can be jumped and the water is pretty low anyway.

	Bugs:

	Lost and Found:


	Comments:	Trail was broken out by skiers and barebooters but only until Cooper Lodge. Cinnilla and I broke out the short section to the summit. It had about 12" of powder snow with twice that amount in some pockets. I barebooted the first 1/4 mile but then felt that the snow-coverage was sufficient for snowshoes and I used them the rest of the way.
