As I understand it "Russell" refers to the Russell snowplows used to clear railway tracks.

Nobody can tell me the origins of russuru (Russell). It's an odd thing. A lot of Japanese lie to practice Russell to get in shape. Sometimes I'm lucky. My friends from Utah come to visit and they take care of all the trailbreaking. They are beasts and they set the steepest skin tracks. it's all I can do to keep them in sight. 🤣
