NP Trail Benson 1/25/14
Nice powder surface on top of generally good base. Some rocks evident - nothing a foot of new snow won't cure. Trail mostly in good shape for skiing with some detours around tricky (rocky) sections. Some water crossings an issus but didn't have to take skis off (except for bridge). Downhill run out very enjoyable with enough powder for control. Still suggest rock skis however.
Made it almost to Rock Lake. Saw only two solo skiers. Snowed on us the entire time with 2 1/2" fluff by the time we got back to the car. Mid teens and light winds.
One skier reported OK skiing into Pharaoh from the south as of last Monday.
