    I hope you still have time to keep this board up and running - especially when the other board is down.

    Congratulations and good luck.

    September 26, 2003
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Contact:
    Chris Owens , (owens@chugachpowderguides.com)
    Mike Overcast (mike@chugachpowderguides.com)

    Girdwood based Chugach Powder Guides takes on a new partner and merges with Class V Whitewater.

    As of September, 2003 Anchorage businessman Chris Owens has joined the team of Chugach Powder Guides as an ownership partner and manager. Founders Mike Overcast and Dave Hamre still remain partners in the organization while former partner Dave Marshall has chosen to pursue other interests. While Marshall is no longer an owner or manager of the organization, Chugach Powder Guides plans to utilize Marshall’s experience and expertise on a consulting basis in the future. Chris Owens has been working as a marketing service provider with Chugach Powder Guides for approximately five years and brings a much desired level of business and marketing experience to the company. Owens has worked with other heliskiing operations and the Wyoming based ski film company Teton Gravity Research from a marketing perspective since 1996.

    As part of the restructuring of the company, Chugach Powder Guides will merge with Class V Whitewater, the popular Girdwood based rafting and excursion company. Originally founded by Mike Overcast and Olympic gold medalist Tommy Moe, Class V has made its name with renowned whitewater trips on Alaska’s Sixmile River and popular train serviced floats at Spencer Glacier and on the Placer River. The two companies will operate as DBA’s under the parent company Chugach Adventure Guides, LLC. The merging of the two companies will provide for cross market outreach opportunities, an added level of stability for guides, staff and clients as well as a variety of other synergies.

    No problems for me. Knock yourselves out. I kinda like our history (Having hand built it and all) so I think I'll keep it. This site is a total labor of love and I will continue to treat it as such.

    Make it your primary residence or use me as your bitch -- I'm easy to please.
