Creeking Courses







So the last two weekend has been host to our first two creeking courses of the season. The first weekend provided a wicked adventure having to whip over to Horse thief River near Radium, BC as it was puking snow here in Calgary. That said and done we did manage to get a nice trip[ down Cataract on the Sunday!
There was at least a foot and a bit of snow on the ground at the put in. It was so beautiful out there paddling down between snow pillows on the rocks!! Awesome day had by all with some great lines on Zig Zag!
The past weekend saw perfect water levels locally and gave us a great day on the Highwood hammering homes skills and then a wicked day on Etherington Creek on the Sunday.
This was a quite the experiance for the team involved as no one had done anything close to such a low volume technical run before. Combined with most peoples first waterfall this creek has it all!!!!
