This is just an FYI to anyone heading out to the Sky today.
The Rivers Gauge has not been updated by the USGS since last Thusday.
I think I am going to revise the way we list the gauge time so this does not cause confusion. The gauge is updated ever 15 minutes with the USGS, and so it shows it was updated today. That is the update from us to the usgs. The usgs has not updated this gauge since the 16th though. So it might be broken, down for repair, or calibration etc....
Just keep the eyes open out there and make sure that your using your judgement!

My brother and I went out there today. It was huge, probably around 15,000. We walked BD although it looked do-able, just go down the right side the whole way.
The wave right below BD was amazing. I cleared my bow on a blunt.
Careful, huge nasty hole below Lunch though.

Looks like the gauge is back up and working.... Wonder if they were
re-calibrating or if the thing got messed up and now its even more
off....
Any beta would be good on this one.

James, I was up there yesterday and it looked higher than the 10k it is posting now, I cant imagine it has dropped any in 24 hrs. Rob said it looked like it was about 15k yesterday morning.

Sure?

Thanks for the heads up....
So I would take that gauge as a grain of salt for now I guess.
