Elijah groomed the Russian to grayling and back and says it isn't half bad and the tracks are in good shape.

Get out there and soak up what skiing you can while you can!

Thanks Elijah!

Quartz Creek is groomed out to the Crescent Creek Trailhead with a short spur loop near the end. Tracks are set along the road. Crescent Campground loop to come soon.

The Russian Campground loop was groomed with tracks set out to the Grayling parking lot at the end of the main road yesterday night (Thanks Elijah!) so there will be a couple inches of snow that fell today on top.

However, the Russian Campground entrance has not been plowed yet this season and should be considered impassable for any 2wd vehicles. It is challenging even in a 4wd vehicle so proceed "at your own risk" and make sure you have a shovel and somehow to extract yourself from soft snow before turning in.

Just rolled the RR Campground loops

Just rolled and packed the Russian River Campground loops. Great snow and temperatures! Will try to groom tomorrow!
