IDAHO SNOWPACK!!!!!!

Hold on to your hats, tighten your life jackets, and hang on! We are going to have a gooooood water year! Of course, no one should predict the weather except God and fools (and that goes double for Stanley, Idaho weather), but things are looking great. Right now at the end of January, we are sitting at 125% of a normal snowpack. That's a lot. I don't know about you, but I'm excited. On the daystretch, we will be running our High Adventure trips for quite a while. Plus, our multi day wilderness adventure vacations on the Main Salmon will have lots of water and lots of fun. Are you ready for summertime fun? I know I am.

Winter Is Here!!!

Winter has arrived to Salmon River country. At the top of the river, in Stanley, it has been quite cold. Last week a blizzard brought snow, but it was hard to tell exactly how much. The wind blew over 30 mph for 24 hours. Some spots in town were bare and others had three foot snowdrifts. I couldn't sleep witht the racket the wind made trying to take off my roof. The next day it warmed up and rained. The day after that it cooled off and snowed. And so it goes. Stanley, ID weather is unpredictable. This image is from the Sawtooth webcam. It shows what the 100 year round residents of Stanley experienced today. Well, 99 of them. I'm in Manhattan.
