This race is part of the Northwest Cup Series; don't miss out on points for the 2013 season! This race is NOT just for race boats. Plastic boats have their own class and even their own trophies . A novice course will be available. Location: The event is at the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Salmon la Sac campground which is right at the slalom race site. It’s a perfect campground for kids and non-paddling family members, also. There is a camping fee. Hiking and Mountain biking opportunities are right there. Camping: The Salmon la Sac campground has many first-come, first-served sites available, but there are also sites you can reserve. http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/salmon-la-sac/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=70321 For seasoned whitewater paddlers, check-out the Cle Elum canyon and Cooper Creek runs (http://www.americanwhitewater.org/rivers/id/2093/) (http://www.americanwhitewater.org/rivers/id/2100/) Cost: Race entry fees are $25.00 per racer with a $5.00 discount to those with proof of current ACA membership. Additional race classes are $5.00 each per racer. There will be separate classes based on age, gender, and type of boat. The prizes (and everyone wins at SLS who participates!) are really cool this year; don’t miss out. How to Get There: Navigate I-90 east of Seattle and exit at Roslyn. Drive through town (the whole place is a speed trap and stays a speed trap until you get to the campground: Beware!) to the end of the road, and there you are at both the race site and campground.
