Kris has been working hard at Appalachian Wildwaters for over 9 years.  By day she is a mild mannered reservationist, but by night she is a town council woman/superhero bringing evil doers in Rowlesburg to justice. Just kidding.  Nine Years here has provided Kris with many memories of rafting.  However her favorite would be rafting down a river and swimming during the flat water section. Yes you read that right, the flat water. During her swim she flapped her arms uselessly and tried not to show a group of boy scouts a tad more than they should see.
During her free time, you can find Kris riding the open road with her husband, on their Harley.  She also can be found traveling the numerous back roads of Preston County with Miranda and Teresa, hitting birds and backing in to trees. On a good day, you can find Kris getting down to her favorite song "Solider" by Destiny's Child. "Where they at? Where they at?"

 Lori - Whitewater Consultant

     Lori has been with Appalachian Wildwaters for 6 years! She is the Vacation Vixen! Lori likes to ride 4-wheelers, hunt and fish, swimming in her pool and going to the movies. If she's not at work, you'll find her shopping for a bargain. In the winter you could see her cleaning, shoveling snow or marketing. She likes the hot tub and peacefulness of the Appalachian Wildwaters outpost. This whitewater consultant also loves to go rafting during "work hours" and asks that "you always request that your reservationist go rafting with you."

  

 

Summer- Whitewater Consultant

Summer  has been working for Appalachain Wildwaters for a total of 10 years as a reservationist and a customer service representative.  In 1987 she took her first run on the Cheat River and has been addicted to whitewater ever since.  She is the proud mother of two daughters Ayla and Shiona, who have the love of the water in their blood.  Hmm…It must run in the family. In order to be happy, Summer’s philosophy is to “Live like you are dying. No worries, all smiles.” She loves to hike, camp, explore, and spend time with her friends and family.  In working for AW, she has gained a huge family.  She has lots of memories of rafting with that family, and her most recent was watching her daughter take her own Thrillkitty on the Upper New and run Surprise rapid like a pro.
