The River is Rising

When you look west we can see plenty of snow on those mountains. This is the result of those late season snow storms that everyone hated.

For the coming week the weather forecast is for rain everyday. Combine that with the snow in the mountains and the river level is going to rise. And with the forecast being sunny for both Saturday and Sunday, this looks like it will be a very good time to get out and challenge the river. Already the river is starting to rise – it’s anyone’s guess what it will be like when this weekend arrives.

Now is the time to call in and reserve your rafting trip so you don’t miss the fun. We have plenty of seats available and the guides are hoping to show you how much fun the river can be.

Remember – You Otter be Rafting !

Pre-season raft training

We have been out on the river learning and practicing our raft manoeuvring skills. When there isn't a lot of water in the river you don't have many options on where you can go. You can pick a line and a hidden rock can quickly turn your raft off the chosen path. Here's a bit of fun during a training run.

Guide Training with doubled wetsuit booties!

Everyone loves to go out on the river on a nice warm day with the sun shining and everyone having a fantastic time. Once summer arrives this is sure to happen, but lately the guide training sessions have been quite cool to say the least. Although the guides have had plenty of fun getting back together and getting out on the water again the rain, snow and cold has certainly tested the limit on keeping warm in a wetsuit. It’s hard to keep your feet warm as the snow blankets the bottom of the raft. Still, we have had several days on the river brushing up on paddling skills and river reading.

That cold water can make anyone cringe.

A quick pep talk – no teeth chattering allowed!

With the weather forecast improving this coming week the river will rise for sure. Now is the time to plan ahead and book your rafting trip .
