Snow and Water

Saturday Todd and I skiied up into Red Snow Cirque in the Central La Sals and got severely sunburnt and got some great spring skiing in. We got about 10 inches of new snow this week in the high country so instead of corn conditions we actually found great powder conditions.

Sunday we floated Westwater at 7,000 cfs. It was a great level. My back two passengers (Sam and Jess) got bucked off in Sock it To Me without the rest of the group even knowing. So as we were celebrating our clean run of the rapid Sam and Jess were struggling to get out from under the boat and get back in. Once we realized we were missing two crew members we pulled them out of the cold river and apologized for not noticing they were gone. Good trip, no photos.
