February 6,2009 -- Bryson City, NC
Ten racers braved rapidly deteriorating winter weather to tackle the NRC season opening wildwater race, the 2009 Glacier Breaker.
New young faces made the trek to race in Western North Carolina in preparation for the Junior Team Trials being held at the
same venue a month from now.
This classic only race starts at the Ledges rapid and ends 3.5 miles downstream at the Nantahala Outdoor Center. The
predominantly class 2+ race also includes the largest rapid on the river called Nantahala Falls where some flexibility
with your line of choice can make things interesting as demonstrated by one of our youngest competitors. Congratulations
and thank you to everyone that raced despite difficult weather conditions.
