The Missoula Chronicals

As is illustrated by the fresh ice clinging to my car, there still is not much running in the Missoula area. So, its back to the old standby of the Alberton Gorge and surfing downtown at Brennan's Wave. The weather went from nice sunny 60 degree days last week, to 30 degree days with snow flurries this week. No big suprises there. Fortunately for us Missoulians, we have a nice play run that has water year round, even if it means that you have to avoid the undercut ice ledges on the banks during the colder days.
Brennan's wave is a fun feature built right smack in the middle of downtown, making for some great party surfing involving a full variety of hole moves, as well as skirt popping, paddle knocking, and if all goes well, your buddy swimming to the old folks home. I know what you are all thinking now, and yes, booty beers are still considered mandatory.
