Hump day groom


The trail to the falls is dragged. It skis easily but is soft. Martha says it is perfect except the overhanging trees. Any help brushing is appreciated. Most can be done with loppers or a pocket saw.

The main CG road is resurfaced and classic tracks are set along the length of it. The tracks are a little too close to the edge of the trail near Red Salmon but will be reset soon.

King Salmon, Rainbow and Silver are also resurfaced. Thursday morning should be excellent skating. Enjoy.

End of the 2012 Ski Season

Well, it's that time of the year again. Even though there is snow throughout the Russian River Campground; the snow condition is a "mess"; really soft and mushy. Time to pull the grooming equipment out and store it for its "summer rest". Thanks to all the volunteers that made this ski season a success!!!! See ya next year when the snow flies!!!!

GREAT SPRING SKIING

Just groomed the Russian River Campground trails, including the new trail. Great skate skiing in the morning or early evening. Plenty of moose tracks up near Grayling and the upper loops but should be fine for some great spring skate skiing, especially the "new" trail to the left. We'll keep grooming as long as conditions are "workable"

Ski Event was Great!!!!

Thanks to all who participated in Saturday's ski/walk/snow-shoe and ski-joring fund raising event at the Russian River Campground. Many thanks to the folks and groomers who made this event possible. Money was raised to help purchase a tilt-up trailer for the grooming equipment as well as gas and oil. Many thanks to Sackett's for providing beer and wine. I'll get on the trails in a day or so and re-groom everything. Thanks again!!!

Happy Valentines Day

Just finished rolling and packing the Russian River Campground Trails. Good surface, still a little "punchy", but should be great for classical and perhaps skating. Once temps drop a little, conditions should improve. Will try and pack the trail to the Falls this week. Enjoy the snow!!!!

Trails packed and rolled

Just finished rolling and packing the Russian River Campground trails, including the new one. Conditions are soft, temps in the high 30's and low 40's. Good classical skiing. Be careful of the cow moose and her calf up by the King Salmon loop. Walkers/snow-shoers...please stay to one side or the other of the groomed trails...makes it easier for the groomer. Let's hope for some cooler temps.
