Dear Winter...

Dear Winter-

We wanted to thank you for such a great season! You provided us with many epic ski days, a little snowmobiling, beautiful trout caught ice fishing, and even some sledding.  That said, I wanted to make sure you realized it is now mid-May and you seem to still be sticking around.  We would appreciate if you might be on your way so that we can thaw out and transition into summer.

As a whitewater outfitter we appreciate what a stellar winter snow pack offers us.  For us it means a longer, better season in regards to water flow.  It can also mean we experience a less severe fire season.  A longer runoff season tends to leave us with gorgeous lush vegetation and raging tributaries that add to the beauty of our guests whitewater experience.  Whether our guests choose to float the Lower Salmon, the River of No Return, or through the Snake River Canyon this summer will be great for whitewater fun!

Winter, you have set us up with a great summer of family vacations in Idaho.   We thank you for all the water you have left us with for the summer and anticipate a great rafting season. We understand that in order to maintain decent water levels into late summer and to avoid flooding you must leave slowly, however, we think you might be dragging it out a little too much. 

Cheers, and we will see each other again very soon!
