Time to ride the snow on the hills before we ride it down the Hudson next spring !!
Come Join us @ www.adkski.com Winter is Fun here in the ADIRONDACKS
Snow, Snow, Snow then WHITEWATER
Back to the Big Water
Well, the summer was wonderful with plenty of fun Class III whitewater and beautiful days. We had a great time with many first timers and many
families with children. It 
appears the Fall season is beginning to look like last spring with amazing river levels ! Hurrican Irene got it started and now we have even more rain. Fortunately we have picked up just the right amount of percipitation to provide ideal Big Water conditions.
The Hudson Gorge from above !
Jeff our ace pilot / river guide got some great shots of us in the gorge the other day. We’re trying to pursuade him to drop off refreshments ! Summertime in the Gorge is the ideal time for fun Class III + with plenty of whitewater action, time for a swim in the warm water and a relaxing lunch on the river. We have a dam release every Tues Thurs Sat Sun all summer, come join us for the ideal Adirondack adventure.
Summer Rafting is on !
The water has warmed to 70 degrees and we are still way above average river levels !
Time to run the Gorge, swim in deep pools and lunch on the river.
2011, the year of Hudson River Records
So far, 2011 has blown away all the old records for high river levels.
We saw the record crest in late April at 13.52 ft ( 40,000 CFS ) Yikes !
We have been running solid Class IV + all through May and even into early June, we are being spoiled rotten this year and we love it.
Anyway, the reservoir is way over full which means we will have outstanding dam releases all summer long !!
The Best Spring Water ever !
Well, the season of 2011 is off the the best start in the history of Hudson River Rafting trips. We thought it would be BIG, but not this BIG, YIKES. Anyway our extra fun April has given way to May whitewater which blows away the old river records. The Hudson set a historic high at 13.62 ft ( 25 % more CFS then the previous high set in 1942 ) Looks like the BIG FUN will continue !!
Here we go ! Season Begins this Saturday
Let the fun begin, we’ve got a hearty group of paddlers to start the season with ideal BIG RIVER levels. The mountain snowpack is heading through the Hudson Gorge. This is the most snow we have seen in a long time up high. We can ski one day and raft the next, the best of both seasons.

Mountain Snow means Big Water !
The Adirondack Mountains are receiving heavy snow this winter in the High Peaks.
Come April 9th ( Opening Day on the Hudson River Gorge ) Adirondac Rafting Company will be blasting through the Gorge with the snow melt.
Hudson River Gorge Spring 2011
Early next April Adirondac Rafting will head for the BIG WATER of early spring.
If you want to see some of the best whitewater in the USA, come to Indian Lake and join us for a trip to remember !
BIG Water
We finally got a taste of the BIG springlike water with Tropical Storm Nicole. The river went to 8.2 Feet and we had a blast. It is a treat when the river goes big in the fall !! That’s right, this is Elephant Rock and when it is almost under water there is going to be excitement in the Gorge.
