    AZ rivers peak huge!!!!

    This storm is causing serious flooding down in AZ. We're talking Noah's flood status. Anyone out there getting after it?!?

    The Verde peaked last night around 100,000cfs!!!! Its back down to only 40,900 now.

    And the Agua Fria went from ~1 cfs on tuesday, to peaking around 50,000cfs last night!!!! Its back down to 12,900 now.


    Who got lucky and drew a Salt permit this year?! Its gonna be a good spring for the desert rivers.

    Skiing, whether you're in Wisconsin or the Alps, is a dumbass hick country sport that takes place in the middle of winter on a mountain at the end of a dirt road.

    Sounds like a few people from the 'Buzz tried to head down. From what I've heard, it's damn near impossible to get anywhere in AZ right now though. I'm sure some motivated somebody got on something....looking forward to any reports.

    Don't think salt permits have been announced yet. It hit about 90k at Roosevelt last night though. It'll be interesting to see how much it changed this time.

    Noice, won me a 3/9 permit. Looks like I'm doin some spring boatin, better get my hands on a new boat.

    The guy said the snowpack went from 20 inches to 69 inches in the last 4 days with 12.5inches of snow water equivalent. Last year they had a high of 9.6inches in February and it was a low water season. fwiw. Stoked, hope to have at least moderate levels!

    You don't see Arizona Snowbowl at the top of the World Snowfall chart here too often. 40 inches, nice. Where are the TR's?
