It's just water..

 

[danny p]

how cold was the water?

 

[bvibert]

Looks like it was a little on the wet side. I prefer my pow to be a little more fluffy...

 

[JD]

Not as cold as snow, and WAY overhead. Truely bottomless....

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Do you wear waterwings??

 

[thetrailboss]

Whereabouts were you?

 

[Johnskiismore]

That is nice pow for the opposite season, I'd like to know too, where is that?

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Somewhere near the Winnoski river??? Huntington Gorge?

this is the run at a slightly lower level then yesterday.
the rapid at 3:00 is the crux. There's a dangerous sieve at the top and the hole at the bottom right before the edit is sticky. Looks like the guy in the clip got worked but they edited it out. You can see how he just stops when he hits it...

Thought that it was Bristol Falls....

JD this video you posted was so gnarly..I don't think I'm a strong enough swimmer for that..but it's sort of like a big waterslide..

 

[JD]

Not really a gnarly run, just fun. It's easier then it looks, and yes, it's like a big waterslide. I wouldn't want to swim it though, although I have some swims on it...out of the crux rapid called play pen.

Nice video, that looks like fun! Nice slide towards the end of the video, I also like at around 1:55 the red kayak mounts up on a rock and then backs back into the current.

Funny because I just took off my kayak racks today!

 

[JD]

That's a real fun pillow move, I end up going left there into the eddy. The race line is right, missing the pillow. Yesterday you could boof over that boulder.

 

[Johnskiismore]

Very cool, I think I may put that on my 'to do' list!

I try to stoke skiers on boating because, as a powder junkie, I know you would all be hooked! Unfortunately, people always find reasons they "can't" instead of ways they "can" experience new things...particularly when they get old like us.
