Exploding Snowpack Causes Delirious Excitement

El Sobrante, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) January 14, 2005 -- With predictions for a much longer, fun-filled
2005 whitewater rafting season, California’s exploding Sierra snowpack has river
rafters in a state of delirious excitement.
Statewide, the snowpack is
202% of normal with plenty of this El Nino-like winter––and possibly much more
snow--yet to come! In the southern Sierra, which feeds popular whitewater
rafting rivers including the Kern, Kaweah and Kings, the snowpack is already at
251% of normal and should provide an absolutely fabulous whitewater
season.
"The last time we had a giant snowpack like this, was in 1995,"
says William McGinnis, founder of Whitewater Voyages.com, California’s largest
whitewater rafting company. "Rafting runs on the Kern River including the Upper
Kern and Forks of the Kern as well as the Kings River were high, exciting and
tons of fun clear through September."
