I am at China Peak Ski Resort as I write this and I am snowed in. The roads are R3 chain control meaning that only 4 wheel drive vehicles with chains on may travel at this time. An additional 3 to 5 feet of snow is expected overnight and 3+ feet have already fallen thus far. This is one of the biggest storms that any of the old timers can recall. What does this have to do with rafting you ask? Well, the more snow that accumulates in the Sierra, the longer our season lasts. 2023 is shaping up to be an epic season with raftable flows well into July if not early August. That is a banner year for the Kaweah River. Mountain Descents will be running trips this year for as long as we have water in the river. Join us this spring and summer for epic fun on the Kaweah. Meanwhile I am going to have some epic fun of my own riding some of the lightest, fluffiest, deepest pow that I have ever snowboarded in my life!!!
