It is almost GO time. @cks_riversupply Paddlefest is back on the shores of the Arkansas River in Buena Vista and Memorial Day Weekend 2026 is going to be one for the books. 🌊🏔️ !! Images and video by @cloudlevelmedia
May 21 through May 25, Buena Vista transforms into the center of river culture, whitewater competition, live music, and community energy that has made Paddlefest one of the most beloved traditions in the Arkansas Valley. Whether you are here to race, to watch, to demo gear, or just soak in the mountain town vibes with good people and good music, there is a spot for you at Paddlefest. And a portion of every dollar raised goes directly to The River Fund, supporting youth education, river access, and the infrastructure that keeps these waters wild and welcoming for everyone.
This is how Chaffee County kicks off springtime… Do not miss it. 🎉
📅 May 21 through May 25, 2026
📍 Buena Vista, Colorado

Last winter@naturalselectionski was born. The location for the event was a massive face in the Tordrillo Range labeled “Priority 1.” After a colossal lift from the entire NST team, the comp day arrived and a unbelievable onslaught from the athletes ensued. The comp was a blur of dozens of back-to-back runs culminating in an epic showdown that left all minds bearing witness to be blown. Soon the sun was fading, and the last heli departed for the evening, leaving the airspace free and clear. Now the drone crew has a tough decision to make. Go full party mode...Or...Fly drones until we can’t see anymore...Tune in Tomorrow on @RedbullTV as year 2 of Yeti Natural Selection Ski 2026 drops. Tue, Apr 14 2026 · 17:00 – MDT
