I think that's where Dale Jardine broke his back wave wheeling it back in the day w/ Steve Fisher. ------------- "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~Howard Thurman |

Yes, Mamquam Falls is just outside Squamish. It has easy access and viewing area from the bridge directly above the falls. I watched Paul Gamache run it last year, just after he dropped the falls, the dam operator opened the gates and the water level quadrupled within 30 seconds of him landing. Cody has video somewhere at Huckinhuge.com of it. |
