Durango Whitewater kicked off the weekend with the 2009 USA
Canoe/Kayak Slalom Senior Team Trials. The course was set in the
Animas Whitewater Park with challenging flows upwards of 5,000 cfs.
Spectators were, to say the least, impressed with the extent of
Olympic class talent paddling their very own hometown run. The
events included men and womens kayak, men and womens single canoe,
mens double canoe and kayak, with the excitement lasting all
through the weekend.
