Following the final morning training session on Sunday, October 4, we will begin our traditional autumn maintenance period at the USD Veltrusy whitewater course. The course will be dammed, drained, and prepared for several weeks of essential work to get everything ready for the next season.
Curious about what it takes to transform a slalom course into a full-scale construction site? Stop by the morning training session and stay afterwards to watch our traditional "USD damming day", when the course is closed and drained for maintenance.
Over the next 3 to 4 weeks, we will inspect and service obstacle anchor points, carry out concrete repairs and joint sealing, and complete other improvements around the course. We are also preparing a few exciting upgrades, but we'll keep those under wraps for now.
If everything goes according to plan, we will be back on the water in November. And, as every year, once the course reopens, water will continue flowing throughout the entire winter season.
