There are definitely perks to being part of the Forever Resorts family. Our recent acquisition of a gently used 15 passenger van has enabled us to extend off-property activities to more employees than ever before and we have been taking full advantage of it! On Tuesday, 7/17, a lucky group of SML staff members had the opportunity to go whitewater rafting with our sister company, Mad River. Our adventure began at the Mad River headquarters in Jackson. A bright green, propane fuled bus drove us about 30 minutes to the put in in the Sanke River Canyon. We donned sunscreen and life jackets and listened to a few words about safety, and then we were off!
Since most of the spring melt water has dissapated and the river is no longer running high, Mad River is using smaller rafts to make their whitewater trips more thrilling. I can say from experience that the ride on an 8 passenger raft is much more exciting than that of an 18 passenger one. Our guides, Jimmy and Ben, were very knowledgeable and made us feel confident and safe while still making sure that everyone got thoroughly soaked. (Jimmy managed to throw all but one of his passengers into the river at the same time!) The eight mile trip took just under two hours and we arrived at the pull out soggy but elated.
