2013 USA Canoe/Kayak Whitewater Slalom Team Trials May 2013. Before work, I had a chance to run down to the Youghiogheny River with hopes of catching some first class kayakers to photograph. Then it dawned on me…the 2013 USA Canoe/Kayak Whitewater Slalom Team Trials are being held this weekend so surely I will see some world class athletes bombing Swallow Falls. As luck would have it, there was a steady flow of action on the river that I attributed to the big weekend.
AdventureSportsCenter International (ASCI) in Deep Creek Lake, MD is hosting the 2013 USA Canoe/Kayak Slalom Team Trials and Deep Creek Open on May 17-19, 2013. For those familiar, ASCI is a manmade re-circulating white course that is atop WispMountain. There will be athletes from all over this great country competing alongside 3 Olympic gold medalists. Not too shabby folks! This is no pitch and putt event. This is the big time with results directly deciding the 2013 National Slalom Team.
The event is free with stadium views of the action, drinks hot dogs, beer and music. What else can you wish for? Bring the kiddos to meet the athletes and get a few autographs!
