There's also the Yampa River Festival in Steamboat with the Fishcreek downriver race and (not that its major) the Gunnison Whitewater Festival as well as the Oh Be Joyful downriver race in Crested Butte.
The Fish Creek Race is part of the Paddling Life Pro Invitational, a freestyle comp/creek race for all the marbles. The event is June 2nd this year. It's a moderately big deal. One of the biggest cash purses in Colorado.
We're working on doing an open class as well. Hope to see everyone there.
Gunnison Whitewater festival is on. Schedualed for May 24 (mem day weekend). Planned as a one day event with kayak down river, raft race, freestyle comp., foot race, etc. There will also be lots for kids and non boaters to do. Gunnison whitewater park has been re-vamped due to the efforts of Gunnison County and Gary Lacy. Anticipated that the drops will be better than ever.
