The Saftey Talk

Everyday on the river we go over a comprehensive saftey briefing with the rafters to prepare everyone for the worst possible scenario. It's kind of scary but very thorough and you feel safer know that all the bases are covered.
Our lead guide Ryan also keeps it entertaining! check out these photo's of some interesting points during the talk!

PORTAGE/SHOTGUN (4)

This 950 metre section is a classic example of a Glacier fed Class 4 Run ! The beginning of the rapid is a glassy chute with a rapid called "Terminator" to the left. This smooth lead-up is no match for what's to come: A Class 4 Boulder field with overhead waves. Just when you think the fun is going to stop, the river bends and brings us to Shotgun: the crux maneuver of the Portage & Shotgun rapids. Shotgun is an underwater rock ledge which forms a fantastic pour over, giving you the sensation of dropping and getting soaked all in one!
