I am from maine so in the winter there is alot of different things to do...i snowmobile, ski...and hopefully this winter i will be to use my new fun 1.5 and go sledding haha..its also fun to get pulled behind a snowmobile in you kayak...in a lot of fresh snow you can go off jumps and work on your play boating ( airscrews and the like.) you can also build like a wall of snow kinda like a diagonal would be and work on your techniques for getting around and through those... and then comes spring run off after winter and the kayaking starts back up!!!!!

Darinm Offline Premium Member Posts: 99 Thank you received: 0	I work at a ski park so I'll be on the snow at least five days a week, and then one or two on the water still. If only it was light longer we could get away with the ride+boat mission more often.

Tyrr Offline Elite Member Posts: 114 Thank you received: 1	do the rain dance so it starts raining, at the moment the rur (Germany) is going down from is second whitewater possibitlity this year, and also from his second this decade. But I had to work, now i can only dream from rain in the winter. Winter is kayaking season, but what to do in summer when there is no water flowing? => polo

Why would you do anything but kayak when you live in a state( oregon0 where it rains basically non stop and brings all the sweet paly runs in. i cant wait for it to really starts raining. I guess if i cant get on the water i like, yeah its kinda weird, mountain unicycling and when i can get into a play, acting.

Wilko Offline Junior Member Posts: 14 Thank you received: 0	Winter is the paddling season around here (Netherlands), so during the winter it's mostly boating and maybe ski once or twice (In the summer we have to travel a lot further to get to white water). Besides, a little snow isn't going to stop me from boating: kayaker.nl/galler15.html kayaker.nl/galler16.html
