After missing it for two years in a row due to work I have decided to make a big come back. Snow, sleet, or raging hangover this New Years on Shoshone is going to be a good one. The first non-event of the 07 paddling season will have free food and more at the take out of Shoshone. I am bringing the monster grill and plenty of grub for everyone. We will have the EZ up with some heaters, music, food and fun. Can't believe how fast the year has flown by! Stoked to get back at the yearly ritual.

Shoshone

Sounds like a bunch of people will be meeting at our shop @ 11am and heading down from there.
More the merrier.
See you on New Year's. Until then enjoy the POW!

For those of us that don't know....probably just me....Where is Shoshone, Whats the run like? Address of the store...with city...INFO on the party! I'm game to make it regardless of weather!

 

[hobie]

Shoshone is on the Colorado river about 5 miles east of Glenwood Springs on I-70. Get off at the Grizzly Creek exit, that is the take out. The put in is reached by heading east on I-70 from there (about a mile).
American Whitewater has info here:

See you there!

My sweet sweet lady got me a new Kokatat Rogue for X-mas, so I'll be there. Missed it out of fear of hypothermia the last couple years. Are you bringing any demo's? I wouldn't mind checking out the Nomad 8.5 if you've got one...if not, no biggie. Also, anyone know of any New Year's Eve bashes going on in that area?

 

[hobie]

I will bring an 8.5 Nomad for you. I have an 07' with the new outfitting.

Hey Hobie,

Hey Hobie, when is the new nomads with the adjustable seat gonna be in stores. I had a 8.5 then lost some weight and have a burn now. I love them both but rip my thumb open on the edge of the burn and figured if I can move the seat forward I might go back to the nomad. Just curious.

Is anybody from the Ft Collins area going? I will be going from Greeley and am just looking for either a ride or someone to ride with me.

Hope Sean's answer helped out. He has them as do a few other Colorado retailers. They started shipping a few weeks ago.

At what level is Shoshone flowing? The flow says ice null?

 

[Andy H.]

Shoshone's probably running about 1000 cfs right now (Saturday afternoon). I figured this based on subtracting the Roaring Fork at Glenwood (490 cfs) from the Colorado below Glenwood (1500 cfs) flows.

see Statewide USGS gages here: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/co/nwis/current/?type=flow

 

[gannon_w]

Can anybody give me directions to AQS? I will call them but if their closed I will need directions I'll be working most of the day and won't be able to check the buzz before tomorrow so if you can please 970-356-4890 and if I'm not there just tell me the exit and basic directions to get there. I have never been west of Vail so I am unfamilure with the area and I looked on the AQS website and didn't find an address other than the Vail valley??

Awesome Day on the river and thanks hobie for bringing all of the food and swag. See everyone next year.

 

[cemartin]

Thanks Hobie! Good times on the river.
