Float to Ski

- This is the story of a bunch of river guides and ski bums who dreamt of floating to ski in the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho. This float to ski expedition took six years of daydreaming before the crew realized no time was a good time to embark in what unfolded as a true adventure of a lifetime.
The river still remains the only viable (and machine free) way to access the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. The Middle Fork flows through the center of this 2.5-million acre wilderness area, which is the largest contiguous federally managed wilderness in the Lower 48. Similar to the Grand Canyon, only a select group of permit drawers, paying clients and river guides get to float the river each season. Unlike the Grand Canyon, the Middle Fork’s elevation starts around 7000 feet and is free flowing, snow and rain fed for 425 miles until the Salmon River joins with the Snake River.
Looks like some solid type 2 fun!
17:04, that's me. Great film that definitely deserves more views.
That was totally fabulous. Love your spirit and enjoyment of the great outdoors. Keep it alive for generations to come.
This is so dope. I love combining 2 sports, but that’s 2 I never thought could go together. Awesome job on the fun and the film!
The middle fork has some definite magic to it, awesome project!
Drown footage in the Frank!
Yay!! So exciting to finally see this! Nice work team :)
Totally awesome, super stoked you all shared this with us. Thank you!!
Now that looks like a blast!! Awesome video!!
I love this haha amazing. way to go and nice job on the film!
This awesome! Great job!
so cool allie!
I think I found a new bucket list trip!
you guys are nuts!... and my hero's... great vid!
Just so cool!
Looks like a job for packrafts!
yeah but then you wouldn't get the glamping ;)
Given how easy boats slide on snow, I wonder how feasible towing them into boundary with sleds is. Seems like getting them to side hill would be the issue
What month did you guys do this trip in? Also what was the flow? I’m doing a mid April trip, and am trying to suss out the probable conditions. Thanks, it’s a great trip you had!
