There is
nothing more exciting, hedonistic even, than hurtling down a river in an
inflatable raft. You've all heard of Whitewater
rafting now its time to try Winter-Rafting. Experience the thrill of a
high speed descent down the 70 degree incline of the 90 metre reception
slope of the Olympic Ski jump.

As you can probably tell this activity is not for the
faint hearted!
