Kabogganing


Kabogganing.
Kayaking downhill in the snow. It is very different from kayaking on molten water.
With Kabogganing the water stays where it is. It doesn't suddenly gush up in a towering roller or drop away in a sudden sink-hole. What you see is what you get (see diagram). Kabogganing can involve trees, which are not so much of a problem on the lake. If you have a prissy plastic kayak this might scare you off. The up side of Kabogganing is that you can pretty-well break the sound barrier on a straight run. I recommend the forbidden toboggan run at twin rivers. They have a well established Ambulance access.
