Here in Austria we are in the midst of a huge political scandal! The Vice-Chancellor was caught in a honey trap in Ibiza and currently the number 1 song being played and downloaded in Austria is “Going to Ibiza” by the Venga Boys.
This could not have come at a more apparent time, since the video of our Soča Valley, Slovenia Class 3-4 Kayaking Trip by Gina comes with the music from the Venga Boys….

While the higher tributaries were drying up, the Sanna was at a fantastic level giving us plenty of places to teach on, making some sweet moves and working on creeking techniques. The River Inn was just a dream to kayak with BIG waves, bouncy rapids and pretty much the river to ourselves made for some memorable days kayaking around our Home Base in the Arlberg Region.
Read MoreOur third Spring of the year was back home at our base in the Arlberg, Austria. The snow was melting fast, the sun was out and the nature in the valley was coming to life! We had a good base of snow from the Winter and it was now feeding the rivers. The Rosanna had great levels and the Spring melt on the Sanna saw us with a very unusual 3 weeks of constant high water!
Read MoreThe snow had been good at home in St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria and I had skied some deep powder and explored a new area earning my turns ski touring into some amazing powder bowls with Jakub, Stocki and Claudia. However, India was calling and I was about to experience Holi, the Festival of Colour.
Read MoreOur final trip of 2017 was with Tom on the Alaknanda and Ganges River. It was mid-November and the mornings and evenings were getting chilly up in Shivanandi on the banks of the Alaknanda River. However, the days were sunny and the whitewater was still good!

We were now heading back up to Santiago with a very rainy day on the madness that is the Rio Laja and a few laps on the Upper Nuble.
