POA / PlanB Warren Miller Pre-Party a Big Hit

What a great night! What better way to kick off the Ski and Snowboard season then with Warren Miller, Free Swag, and a Parrr-tay??? The 3rd Annual WM Pre-Party at PlanB in Chicago was hosted by Powers Outdoors Adventures. We were promoting the 60th Annual Warren Miller movie called "DYNASTY" that has already launched its nationwide tour. Check out the TRAILER HERE! The movie hits Chicago this week and then makes its way up to Grandville, MI on December 5th. Tickets for the Chicago show are available HERE and Tickets for the Grandville show on December 5th can be purchased HERE.

The party this year had its best turnout ever, and we had some help from Corona and The Onion. Not to mention national sponsors Columbia and local sponsors like the Shred Shop. Thanks again to Plan B bar + kitchen for hosting the event and to Warren Miller for working with POA. Looking forward to hitting the slopes soon!

Chicago Flatwater Classic was "Awesome"! ! !

"It was Awesome!" That was the consensus from the group that braved the 200 mile, 3 hour car ride down from Rockford, MI to paddle in the 10th Annual Chicago Flatwater Classic! Powers Outdoors Adventures had 8 paddlers in our group this year, hailing from Rockford and Grand Rapids, MI. The Group had a start time of 11:28am on the perfect day, which was mostly sunny and 64 degrees. All of the paddlers received a POA Support Bag upon finish, a lunch from Goose Island Brewery, and a Flatwater Classic T-shirt. If you want to check out the race results of this 7.25 mile race, they are posted HERE.

Thanks again to the Friends of the Chicago River for putting on such a great event. We are happy to be a part of it, and glad we can do our best to help clean up the Chicago River. If you would like to help donate, please click HERE.

Stay Tuned for this great event again in 2010!

Chicago Skyline Paddle...AWESOME!

What a perfect day to paddle on Lake Michigan and take in all the scenery that the Windy City had to offer! POA put our group in the water after some snacks and off we went. We paddled by the Shedd Aquarium, the Adler Planetarium, past Buckingham Fountain and throughout Monroe Harbor. This trip will absolutely be on the books for next summer, so STAY TUNED!

Paddle On, Paddle Often,

Get Ready For Fall!

It will be here sooner than you think...you can smell it in the air! As the days start to get shorter, the leaves will start to change color and soon fall will be upon us. Make sure you take full advantage of the fall this year with Trip from Powers Outdoors Adventures. Attached are some pix from our Trip last year. POA is guiding a Fall Paddle on the Muskegon River, on Saturday, October 24th. All ages and experience levels are welcome on this trip. The paddle will last around 5 hours and we serve you lunch (homeade chili) right on the river - what a great way to spend an autumn day! (And by the way...we make GREAT CHILI!)
