Troy and I decided to hit the Gutter Sunday afternoon since the temp had soared to a sweltering 42 degrees. We drove up expecting no one to be around, only to find our buddy Chuck (pic on left) had beat us there. Little ice chunks floated past us occasionally and Troy was splatting on snowbanks along shore. The first trip of the year is always interesting trying to get all that gear on in the right order - I always get my PFD on and then remember my sprayskirt!

Then the boys and I ran down to the Downtown YMCA to help out with the Idaho River Kids roll session and an adult roll session - Troy thought the water was quite a bit warmer in the pool

Spring is just around the corner, so if you want to brush up on your roll or tighten up a flatwater move, there are several businesses holding pool sessions. Check them out HERE.
