May 10, 2010 | | Whitewater and Daffodils = Spring in Vail! | Sure signs of Spring in Vail
Every year, more
daffodils and tulips pop up all over our beautiful area, ensuring that
it is indeed spring. A little quick research shows me that these bulbs
propagate freely, producing more flowers each year, if they are in the
right environment. Crisp nights, strong sun and plenty of water do the
trick up here, regardless of spring snow storms, and sometimes it seems
like new flowers pop up every hour.
And that part above about
“plenty of water”? Well, we have it now! Seems like it is going to be
an outstanding year for all water paddle sports like rafting and
kayaking. Any day now, I’ll start seeing boaters on the creeks and
rivers right outside my window on a consistent basis—in fact, there is
even an “season opening” celebration at the Vail Whitewater Park this
week, with some cool (literally—think snow-melt!) kayak demonstrations.
Check it out in person, or watch it on the video I’ll post next week
on this site.
Details:
Tuesday, May 18, 5:00 - 7:00 pm, International Bridge,
Vail.
The Vail Whitewater Park Kayak Demos are presented by Alpine
Quest Sports. Come and watch from 5-7pm at International Bridge in Vail
Village to view the demos. Experienced kayakers will have the
opportunity to demo kayaks free of charge. Spectators will be able to
observe local & visiting kayakers taking advantage of the world
class river features in Vail's Whitewater Park. Fun for the whole
family! | | |
