Kayaks on Snow

[mattb]

I watched a fun end of season event yesterday called Kayaks on Snow at Monarch Mountain. It's like a sledding race in kayaks with a water finish. They did an elimination tournament all afternoon yesterday. Pretty entertaining and made me glad for sealed gear!

WOW! What a fun looking event. I've never seen anything like this, thanks for sharing.

Cool event. Like the pond skim they have at my mountain. Except they use skis/snowboards.

Thanks guys. I always like to catch the oddball events for some reason and this is definitely one of the odder ones!
Armondo, yes I was super lucky with that water drop shot. Probably couldn't have planned it better!
