Extreme Stoke? More like Extremely Soaked!

Transition times can be hard. Winter to Spring, Spring to Summer, pants to shorts. One thing that shouldn’t be hard is choosing to have an awesome time! With the Classic Extreme wrapping up, the Chilliwack Canyon is opening and getting ready to play! Break out those shorts, slap on some sunscreen and get ready…

Chilliwack Canyon season is sneaking up!

June 2nd AM Classic-60-2

But what is Chilliwack Canyon season? And how is it different from Classic Extreme?

Good question.

 

 

 

The Classic Extreme is our extreme high water option. Early season, as the snow melts and the water level rises, the Chilliwack Classic fills with huge waves and fast water. The first time down, everyone gets used to paddling and getting wet… AND THEN… a second, optional lap of the last 4-km of continuous class 3 and 4 is offered for those keen and stoked. On this lap, we go full send and hit things hard- where “extreme” earns its name.

The stoke from Classic Extreme  is high and that definitely doesn’t go away on the Chilliwack Canyon trip!

June 1st PM Classic-40

June 1 PM Classic Extreme

 

As the river transitions away from flood levels to more sane water levels, we take the rafts down a completely different section of the Chilliwack river. The Chilliwack Canyon is 14 kilometers of continuous class 3-4 whitewater above the Chilliwack Classic. Like all great things, the Chilliwack Canyon can’t stay open all year. This prime extreme rafting trip is open during medium water flows and is sure to get you dreaming of being raft guide (one of us, one of us…).

June 2nd AM Classic-62-2

June 2 Pm Canyon

Like we said, transitions are tough and the river has a mind of its own. Some days the water is screaming Classic Extreme, other days it rumbles Chilliwack Canyon. To make the transition from one season to the next easier, throw on your zip-off pants and get stoked for a good time. There is only one season – the extremely soaked season!

    1. The Chilliwack Classic Raft Trip
      The Chilliwack Classic
       is open year round and great for all ages and levels of rafting experience (see on calendar below).
    2. The Chilliwack Classic Extreme Raft Trip
      We had a short two-week season of The Chilliwack Classic Extreme in 2016, but are expecting a longer Classic Extreme season this year.  See when you can raft this trip on the 2017 calendar below. Keep an eye on our social media for some excellent videos and photos in the next little while.
    3. The Chilliwack Canyon Raft Trip 
      We had a long Chilliwack Canyon season last year with only a two week shut down due to high water when we run the Classic Extreme instead.  This year, the Canyon is predicted to open up around the last weekend of June and the first weekend of July. See calendar for more detail.
    4. The Chilliwack Inflatable Kayak Trip
      We started hosting the Chilliwack Inflatable Kayak trip in the first week of August 2016. This year, the inflatable kayak tour is expected to be opening up later.

2017 River Conditions Update

After a fierce, snowy Winter and a cool, rainy Spring, it might feel like nothing good will come out of the weather. Hang on a minute, the big, low-elevation snow pack has been melting slowly! This means that we’ve been running Chilliwack Canyon and Chilliwack Classic trips at July water levels. At the same time, the higher-elevation snow pack just keeps building. This summer will have world class whitewater rafting on the Chilliwack.

Reserve your seats online and ride the melt with us.

Trip Sampler 2017

This Trip Sampler shows authentic adventures on the Chilliwack River at different times of the year. We are unique in that we are open year round and raft during a large variety of water levels. This allows us to have four diverse trips to offer;

  1. Chilliwack Classic
  2. Chilliwack Classic Extreme
  3. Chilliwack Canyon
  4. Chilliwack Inflatable Kayak .

The following pictures and videos were captured between April and September 2016.

 

 

April and May

In 2016, we hosted the Chilliwack Classic, the Chilliwack Canyon and the Chilliwack Classic Extreme trips during April and May. The water level fluctuates up and down until the end of May. Then the Chilliwack Canyon is likely to close due to high water and the Chilliwack Classic Extreme usually opens up. The Chilliwack Classic is open throughout April and May and can be modified for nervous guests to miss the extreme rapids at high water flows. No terror, but boredom is not an option here.

June

In June, the sun starts to shine more strongly and there is typically consistent high water levels. The Classic becomes swollen with snow melt and the Classic Extreme is in full swing. The Canyon will open up at medium water flows.
