2005 Denver Slalom Challenge

The First Annual Denver Challenge went better than estimated. With temps soaring into the high 60's and great water flows, the competing athletes were in for a treat.

A very difficult 350 meter 22 gate course was set by Greg Kopp and Tom Gelder which challenged even the Elite athletes in the field. Narrow Gates set tightly in off-sets provided not a single combined clean run.

Athletes competing from the University of Colorado, Colorado WhiteWater Association, FRPA, Dawson School Canoe/Kayak Team, FRPA-West and different non team affiliated competitors were present.

Due to a high interest of many athletes doing different classes, the downriver race was cancelled due to length of the day and the incoming blizzard that has now hit Denver. More than 18 inches of heavy wet snow is falling since yesterday.

As they say in Colorado..." If you don't like the weather now.... wait ten minutes". This sure has been the case this past weekend.

Thanks to the Front Range Slalom Committee, PowerBar, Loki and XP Apparel and all volunteers for making this event a huge success.
