Jean B Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I have a friend getting relocated by his employer from Seattle, WA to Prescott, AZ. They are avid water skiers and have lived a block away from their ski source. Does anyone know of any place north of Phoenix, closer to Prescott, where one would be able to ski?? Even a place to free ski is better then no skiing.

Baller DW Posted August 21, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2009 Start with Lake Pleasant, a public park and lake. It is NW of Phoenix, just north of Sun City, west of I-17. The ski lakes I know of are SE of town (San Tan Lake and one in Gilbert). There is also a lake near Gila Bend, way west and south. One thing is for sure, he can leave the dry suit behind, forget the rain goggles and expect 360 days of sunshine.

Baller ski6jones Posted August 21, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2009 Sorry to hi-jack, but where did they ski in Seattle.  My sister lived in Port Townsend and is looking for some place to ski.I have no information on sites in the AZ.

Jean B Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 They live near Lake Sammamish and do a lot of free skiing in the early am. They also attend a lot of private lake rentals on ski lakes in eastern Washington. And also ski at Ski Park in Orting. They ski year round as long as there is no ice on the lakes, not to windy, or it's raining to hard. A little rain never hurts any one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean B Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 scotchipman probably doesn't know them. Sue and Alan only have been members for about 4 yrs or so. I have been a LSWSC member to. But was after Todd left, so I don't know him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Sue_P Posted August 23, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2009 I heard about Todd this weekend at a lake rental. I'd love to hook up with him if anyone knows how to connect. We will be in AZ this week "checking it out".We just might have to build a lake near Prescott. The sunshine sounds good - be we ski year round. A little rain or snow never hurt anyone (hee hee hee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Sue_P Posted August 27, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks. I'll give it a shot. We were in Arizona earlier this week and looked at Lake Pleasant - big open public lake. It was pretty - but we are addicted to the buoys.......

Gern Blanston Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 is it just me, or does Sue P sound like the perfect woman? Horton - how about adding a category for hitching a ride? I'd love to get more experience in the course - the question is where?
