    The Songer and ACE deal fell apart. They remain separate companies.

    i love ACE, they are good people who really care about their guests… they are a big company, but they have worked their butts off to get there. besides, we are talking about a river here guys… not disney world. of course lives will be lost over the years

    Actually, they are a great company! i have been rafting with them many times. the only reason their death toll would be higher, is because they take at least 3 times the amount of people down as any other company. its a river.. not a them park

    Songer is owned by ACE. And two out of the three deaths this year were cardiac arrests after going in the water. the previous deaths in 2007, 2008 were at Iron Ring during low water, which ACE did not recommend we take (and we didn’t, a few did though). I’ve floated with both ACE and Rivermen and they are both good outfitters. Just got back two weeks ago from a Fall Gauley trip.

    The Gauley is definately insane. Anyone can do these with a whitewater company. I grew up in the area. I’ve seen 12 year olds doing it on private boats.

    I did the lower Gauley with no substantial whitewater experience. It was an intense adrenaline rush but I did fine. Our guide told us precisely what to do before and during each rapid. I’m going back this year to do the Gauley in its entirety.

    I should say that I did the Ottawa River once on the Ontario/Quebec border but it wasn’t too bad, really. The company I was with was very safe/professional. I’m just wondering if I am experienced enough to handle the crazy WV rivers?

    How brutal is this? Can someone who is a first-timer but willing to learn handle it or should I start off on an easier river?

    look up ACE Adventure. I just went with them on this river but in kayaks… man that was nuts.

    If your new to this do the New River

    But if you wanna go crazy go on the Gauley
