Hello Everyone,
This is mainly to all the coaches and teams who participated in the Trials held here last spring. I have pictures to send out, but no addresses to send them to. I know a few coaches gave me their addresses and a list of bib numbers of their athletes--however, in the stress of the summer* these were lost.
Please resubmit the info if you are still interested. I will hold the pictures until New Year's 2010, and then delete them. At that point, you will have to contact Stacey Hepp at USACanoe/Kayak for any images.

2009 Snowdown Pool Slalom
Please go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5IvgUk40Qo to see a slide show of some of the pictures from the 2009 Snowdown Pool Slalom. This was created with the song "Walk Like an Egyptian" as the background music, but due to licensing issues, I had to load it without the music--sorry about that.
Long before we began seeing kayakers negotiating gnarly creeks and careening down waterfalls on the pages of magazines and on our television screens, a cadre of Durango whitewater enthusiasts were quietly running the next river, practicing the perfect eddy turn, searching out a great adrenalin rush. It is not surprising, therefore, that a program such as the one offered by Durango Whitewater Center of Excellence would grow in the fertile water-sport soil of Durango, Colorado.
