What Does an Idaho Rafting Company Do in the Winter?

Monday, February 9, 2009 by Idaho Afloat Staff
Well, since we are all big skiers, we go skiing!!
Kate & Ty at Lost TrailUnless the company runs trips in warmer parts of the US or overseas, an Idaho rafting company all but shuts down daily operations. All the equipment is carefully stored over the winter, after any repairs were made in the past fall. The guides have long since moved on to their "winter" jobs. For some, this means working at ski areas out west, and for others of our staff it means going back to "real" jobs teaching, in medicine, trades, and professions, etc. For the Colbert family (that's us), the first and second generations run an electrical contracting business (Colbert Electric) in Anaconda, Montana. The third generation (Ty and his wife Kate), live in Missoula. We are still working on Idaho Afloat business though! During the late fall and winter is when all our new trip planning and marketing development happens. Reservations are always open as well. It's true that sometimes you really can book an Idaho Afloat rafting adenture vacation with Kate or Ty while they are on a cell phone at the mountain. That's the beauty of technology. But most of the time, Kate & Ty are leading our customer service side of our business- answering questions, sending out trip information, and helping you decide which river and which trip is best for your group this summer! We run 4 different rivers, the Main Salmon, Lower Salmon, Snake River through Hell's Canyon, and the Clearwater for incredible fishing trips. Each is unique!
