Yeah, I feel ya, but you know how some people are. To some, the cup is half empty, and to others, half full. But many don't want to drive up here if the cup is over spilling or covered, Fluid. They are not bad ass like you, my man. I mean, I agree with you. On the other hand I did get my ass gobbled up Fisherman's once when the cup was covered. Luckily Fish was there to fish me out. The rest of the run sure was fun though, and I had a nice clean run the previous lap.
My preferences: I like to see that fan/kicker rock lubricated with H2O, w/ the little fu*ker rock directly downstream covered so I can carry a smooth line into the Typewriter wave.
Anyway, grab a cup of java. Its time for your Morning Cupdate:
Cup rock is stable. Same flow as last night.
Weather is drizzly. Temperatures are cold than last night. Fog has somewhat abated, but is still present.
Oh, come on, Fluid! Its fun to issue a Cupdate!

I am not a badass kayaker, so the cup is an important tool for me. I have run FITW hundreds of times at different levels, and these day I like the cup to just have a little water in it. That way the holes are not there to gobble me up as I try to have fun going down the waterslides. I dont like big holes in FITW, I guess I am getting old and dont want to break myself anymore...

You're not alone. The average paddler who runs FITWah seems to prefer the rim of the cup to be exposed, revealing the square-like shape of the cup's interior. That keeps it well within class IV parameters.

I don't know man....you and me on the same river sounds like trouble. Back to the days of "yellow leader" in BC. Hope you're doing good. Small chance I could make it work. Especially if I don't go thursday night. What time you thinking Kris?

Hmm. I have a feeling by then I will be EASTside. Thurs could be my window, especially if...
a) the cup was more than half full when I got up there (cuz you all know I'm an optimist if things are more than 50% good)
and
b) if Fish happened to be able to meet me up there with a very specific piece of Tupperware.
But I reserve the right to decide not to inflict undue scratches upon my tupperware. In this scenario, with I'd rather take my chances with the fatty flank of Fisherman's

Dude, you just missed Connor and his homeboy. They are just changing into dry clothes now.
And now for your evening cupdate for Thurs, 6/7/12...
The rim of the cup is well exposed all around with water flowing through the big crack, and slightly lapping out of the small crack.
That's a jP medium low.
Or a Ben Hawthorn low.
Or a Dave High.
(Depends who ya ask)
Connor called it low, with his caveat that he has boated it a lot w/ Fish.
Can you tell how entertaining I find all this subjectivity?
It is currently raining fairly hard. There is still a ton of snow up there to feed some Fitwah goodness for a bit yet.
Those heading over the pass who like cusion for the pushin may be dissappointed by tomorrow, but all you butt scrapers and nose bangers might find it just perfect.
Friday may be a FITWah for the Elfers.
Or, if things dip up a hair, it may be surprisingly mediumish.
In the end you'll still have to eye that cup rock for yourselves.
See yall EASTside!
