I'm heading out tomorrow to Emigrant Wilderness to find some cold air. The ranger at Summit Station said they had a light dusting of snow at the station but probably a little more (maybe 4"-8") in the wilderness so I'm not quite sure what to expect but don't have any great distance goals. Temperatures are supposed to be in the low 40*F during the day and low 20*F at night and with out any rain/snow Thurs-Sat but maybe something blowing in Sunday afternoon so we plan on being out by then. My question: Are these conditions OK for my dog? We think she is mostly a Kelpie (originally from Kauai HI) 47lbs and does not have a thick undercoat like many dogs do but she loves to backpack with me and she is great to have along when going solo. I guess I'm a little worried about her paws getting too cold on the snow but imagine she should be fine during the day as long as we are moving. For her sleeping setup I'm bring a GG torso pad and a Uniqlo ultralight down coat but maybe I should bring something more? I have some dog booties – is that something I should bring?
