Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival '09 from Ginnette on Vimeo.

The Northwest Creeking Competition, April 11th & 12th flooded the East Fork of the Lewis River with whitewater boaters from all over the region.

Host to several class IV rapids and a 15ft + waterfall, this beautiful stretch of the E.F. Lewis River is a whitewater lovers jungle gym. 

With several categories including Kayaks, Rafts, Inflatable Kayaks, Canoes and even River Boards, the Northwest Creeking Competition has made its mark in a growing series of events establishing standards and raising the bar in whitewater competition. (see post @ pdxriverexplorers.blogspot.com "West Coast Whitewater Racing Series")

Thanks to Next Adventure for sponsoring this great event and to the many sponsors who donated gear and support.  Special thanks to Mike and Brenda Olsen who fed hungry hoards of boaters and hosted the party and camping on thier beautiful riverside property.

Below are important dates to remember for those of you interested in the Madrone Wall and contributing to this project:

"Environmental and economic studies co-funded by the County and the Madrone Wall Preservation Committee along with the Clackamas River Basin Conservation Alliance, a local citizen group, determined that it would be uneconomical, even under the best conditions, to quarry this site. It is imperative that this site now be preserved as a park or open space before it becomes a private quarry or is developed into tracts of trophy homes. The Madrone Wall is one of the last and best treasures..." To read more go to www.savemadrone.org/future.htm

Whew! Finally it's dumping on Mt. Hood and NA employees are chomping at the bit to make some turns. With work, school, family and other obligations it can be tough to get to the mountain and ride as often as we want- for some of us, that is everyday. One thing that makes it possible is night skiing at Ski Bowl.

Ski Bowl is our nation's largest night ski area, open every day of the week as late as 10pm (11pm Fridays & Saturdays), and is just a little closer- perfect for those evenings after work or school. Also, don't forget Ladies Night on Tuesdays- ladies ski for only $14 bucks! Click the Ski Bowl logo to explore their site.

Hello out there to all of you who were out at the Beaver State Fling this past weekend. You may have seen us at our booth or for a brief moment before practicing a little mouth to burger resuscitation. Hope you all enjoyed the food and had a good time. It was great to see the pro's out there and get an idea of how far this sport has really come. Here are some pics we took while we were out and about... Next Adventure is proud to be a part of the Disc Golf community; promoting local events like this one as well as other local affiliates like Stump Town Disc Golf and Huk Lab.
