Instead, joined John and Rachel at the slalom spot downtown around lunch time.

How was Petite Nation?
Is it the right time to do it?

Post by: Robertm on August 25, 2008, 03:35:21 PM: Oh yeah.... the level was 37 at the time and the Canions had wavetrains comparable to Upper No Name at say 10. The complexity of the run is much higher and the run can be quite intresting. The rapid near the kayak school was similar to Angel's Kiss (minus the playspot). The remaining rapids were comparable to Black Velvet but longer.
