JACKSON, Wyo. — After a warm spring and a brief Snake River run-off, Buckrail is excited to announce the winners of Dave Hansen‘s High Water Heyday Contest. Your high water mark guesses flooded in while the Snake River quite literally flooded with flows hitting their peak on June 6th at 16,100 CFS (cubic feet/second). From 3 to 2,000,000, the guesses were just as varied as our typical spring weather. Believe it or not, one of our local participant entries hit the high water mark spot on with their guess.
Drum roll, please…
Jack Fitzgerald won himself a new NRS Star Outlaw 140 self-bailing raft by nailing the guess on this year’s high water mark. Fitzgerald, a Jackson local, guessed 16,100 exactly. His guess was the right on the money without going over the mark and the earliest guess cast on May 7, 2021.
Our other contest winner included our out-of-area winner, Rick Marquardt.
Hailing from Lehi, UT, Rick Marquardt was the closest guess for our out-of-area entries (15,600 CFS) casting his vote on April 1, 2021. Rick wins a rafting trip with Dave Hansen Whitewater for himself and up to seven friends.
Congrats to Jack Fitzgerald and Rick Marquardt! The winners have been notified, and we look forward to seeing them out on the river this summer!
