Russian River Ski Tour


Today I went on a cross country ski tour up the Russian River with Hans Tschersich, Tia Leber, Paul Zimmer, John Larsen, Gregg Rosenkranz and Ben Millstein. Gregg, Hans and I used skate ski gear while everyone went with classic gear. It was a little icier than we expected (powder blown away by the wind) but the river was pretty well frozen over. We skiied up from Bell's Flats to the canyon and then went another 2 miles up into the canyon. Magnificent, and no one got their feet wet.

The best part about going upriver is that going home is slightly downhill and much faster than the trip out. Here Hans flies on his way back to the 'stable'. (PGS)
