Phil called in this afternoon to report the team made their way off Elbrus yesterday and enjoyed a nice tour of the Cheget ski area. They took a chair lift up to the top and stretched the legs on a short hike to a nice little mountain lake. After a great lunch they made their way back to the hotel in Mineral Vody and will depart for Moscow in the morning.
Even with all the recent forest fires outside of Moscow it looks like flights are back to normal and they’ll get out on schedule – fingers crossed.
