    We consider viscosity equilibria to the mean curvature level set flow with a Dirichlet condition. The main result shows that almost every level set of an equilibrium solution is analytic off of a singular set of Hausdorff dimension at most \(n-8\) and that these level sets are stationary and stable with respect to the area functional. A key tool developed is a maximum principle for solutions to obstacle problems where the obstacle consists of (viscosity) minimal surfaces. Convergence to equilibrium as \(t\to\infty\) is also established for the associated initial-boundary value problem.
