Here is a rough total of gradient for tdub since The March Madness competition began. As a team we are competing in the sick bird division, and for this reason are not going to sandbag on class three-four runs. A quick run down of the first nine days of March goes like this: The Raven's trip was four inches which is low, but everything was ran that didn't have wood in it except Anaconda.

It was really tight. Ramsey's was two feet on the gauge, but felt lower than that. I don't know what the level was at Triple Falls, but it seemed kind of low.

The Green has been running about two to four inches over the rock at the confluence (120%-150%), which has been real nice. Also of note while the Green was being ran on Day 9 two other members were on the Ravens Fork at five inches. We only scored the Green run though.

Notice in the video clip the drastic change in weather from 60 degrees and sunny on the seventh to 30 degrees and snowy on the eighth. You gotta love Spring in the southeast. Be back with more updates after the weekend.
