Slaughterhouse

     A run on the Roaring Fork River, starting right in Aspen. The water was fairly high here, too, running about 2700 CFS.


At high water these guys in Aspen would bring out there wake board rope, tie it to the bridge at the put-in and wakeboard in the river.

Tom and I did this run, without ever having done it before. We scouted a little.

The first rapid, Entrance Exam, and you can barely see my little head in the middle of it all.

You can see the whole falls here, maybe the easiest rapid if run right, it can get ugly in a hurry if you are off your line by even just a little bit. At high(er) water go way way right!
