2008 Rafting Season UPDATE: Snow and Rain - Finally

Well the 2008 rafting season  looks to be a another great one with the new snow and rain we have been getting.  The Sierra Nevada mountains just recieved another 3-4 feet of snow inaddtion to the 8 feet they got a few weeks ago.  This will make our season at Whitewater Excitement a great one especially for the natural snow fed river such as the Merced River, and the North Fork of the American. 

Also, with it being an "above normal" rain year (we hope it will continue) the Hydro-Electric companies will be releasing summer flows into the South Fork of the American  river at flows of 1500cfs on the weekdays and 1750 cfs on the weekend, and for extended hours.  This is part of the agreement they signed during their relicencing of the hydro dams upstream of the South Fork.  This will ensure super exciting summer time rafting this summer.

With the snow we will be getting out more on the North Fork of the American river.  The last couple of seasons, the river has not run much due to low snowpack. However, this spring (and winter for some of us guides) we will be getting out on the NF regularly.

We will post another update soon.  ****Watch for Flash's Winter Grand Canyon Colorado River Adventure - he will finish the update as soon as he gets back from the Doc to see how bad his frostbite was****
