I recently made it out for my first run of the year on Skookumchuck Creek. We are incredibly lucky to have this as one of our local runs. It has more rapids than you can shake a paddle at and is pretty much continuous class 3 and 4 whitewater. People travel great distances to paddle this fine run and its right in our backyard. The pictures are from Sunday May 15, the level was medium, and the paddler's name is Shawn.

At the put-in getting ready for action:


Part way through "Shot in the heart" one of only two rapids that are actually named in the guidebook:


Shawn about to get munched in "Pinball", the other named drop:


A clean line through a drop we call "The Punchbowl"


One of a few nice surf waves that appear at this level:


In the middle of what's probably the toughest rapid on the Skook. We call it "The Screaming Right"
