This is the Sky Drainage Creeking discussion thread. Please post any questions below.

Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the Sky Drainage Creeking | Trip Page

With the levels are there is plenty of primo creeking in the Sky drainage. They'll be a trip on Sunday, locations TBD depending on water levels. Possible locations are the lower NF Sky, Rapid, Miller, Foss, Money Creek.

Was up there today and Money is waaayyy too low to run, we ran the Miller and things have changed since the flood, had a good time in there and the levels were decent.

Right on, Dr Dave, thanks for the beta. With the Main Sky at 9800 I think we'll find something! You coming out on Sunday?

Bryon - I think I'm in for tomorrow. Been out of my creekboat for a while so I'd probably more up for the class IV/IV+ flavor than for something dropping V's all day (though I'm egoless enough to walk things along the way if you've got something specific in mind).

What time were you thinking?

Haven't done the Foss yet, that would be cool.

Maybe combo with the miller or rapid.

Hey Franzhorner,

The Upper Foss is open. There's dangerous wood below Ken and Barbie, but the portage is straight forward (if long). I ran it last week and things were fine. With levels spiking tonight there will be some prime waterwater. I'm planning on doing multiple runs, so give me a call if you want to hook up for the Rapid (our likely second run).

4 laps on the last mile of the rapid today for us.  Good clean fun.  More "padded" out than last week.  Should be sweet tomorrow with about 11k on the Sky.  Have fun.

I also would definitely recommend laps on the lower Rapid over the Foss for sure.   It was good clean, continuous fun today!
