Nordic ski conditions for Quartz Creek and Russian River campgrounds, the old Sterling Hwy and other Cooper Landing trails.

This is a real drag. It is big, heavy, and dumb which are qualities that help when faced with reconditioning a groomed base that has been driven on by a wheeled vehicle.
Wheeled vehicle traffic on a groomed base is also a real drag. Vehicles are big and heavy and...frequently get stuck when driving a road that has not been plowed.
People need firewood and harvesting part of two trees appears to be the reason at least one vehicle took this trip. They made it further than most do but still left evidence of the time they spent extracting themselves.
Whether the firewood folk were the same as those who stole our orange cones and handwritten sign that were the only indication of the deep snow ahead, we may never know.
What we do know is that road to Crescent is back to being skiable - if a little rough around the edges.

The powerline to Crescent Trailhead is rolled, compacted, and dragged. It isn't perfection but it is a solid base to build from. The campground loop is still undisturbed powder and a lot of downed trees so we will try to tackle them soon.
Happy Sunday skiing!

After dealing with power outages and digging ourselves out like the rest of south central, we got out today to prep Crescent.
We cleared 20+ trees downed from the snows. Big shout out to Martha, Kevin, and Jessie for post holing to swamp limbs and logs for the afternoon.
More to come. The 2023-2024 snow grooming season is here!

A big thank you to Lou, Jake and Amanda, Janette and Theo, David and Martha, and Neil for coming out on the last day of September to brush at Devils. A big thanks to the Seward Ranger District Trails crew for finishing up the remainder of the loop later in the week. Everyone's efforts helped prep the majority of the main loop so that when snow flies, we are ready to groom. The 2023-2024 season is just around the corner!
