Achigan at 37 and going up

Rouge upper canyon at 300 and going up +25 cms an hour...but im assuming it will be wayyy too high by the weekend sooo.

White Dog will be sweet at 350 and climbing up 25 cms an hour...Its a nice big water run! I ran it up to 650 cms.. White Dog wave being HUGE!

Ouareau is way up too! Ouareau/ Jean venne or Dufresnes would be sweet...asides from that shuttle.

Petite Nation is still frozen on the flats but not for long!

I guess its still early to plan a weekend mission but looking forward to it!  ;D

Yep...

Looking at the gauges, Hwy 7 runs have just peaked as have most of the runs in New York.
The warm weather forecast for this week will make for some interesting choices for next weekend.

The Devils river was just beginning to flow on Sunday. Water is still low with a lot of ice flowing down river.

The Rouge still had ice on the flat water sections near St Jovite.

Hmmm... still shows the achigan and the Devils are still about +10 over the recommended level... Perhaps theres an ice jam making levels rise near the gauges... Well possible.

Rouge went down to 308 but going up slowly...
Ouareau at 68 is great! Ran it last year at that level! Cappucines gets a little more challenging!

Too early yet! Id love a St regis though ;)

BTW, Upper Black is wood and ice free and good to go! Some guys from KWP also ran the Beaver!
