Nick Sullivan Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I showed up at the lake this morning at 10:30, drove my truck to both ends of the lake and the course was clear of ice but the turn islands had about a half inch of ice blocking them. I took the boat out there and used the wake to break up the ice. We had an east wind that ended up blowing the ice out of one turn island and cleared it far enough out of the way of the other island we could drop but not go around it. Air temp most of the day hovered just at or slightly above freezing. We had a potluck planned and I was worried we would all bailout of skiing and just eat all the good food.  However, I started pulling guys at noon and didn't stop until 4:30. It was an awesome day, a few skied well and few not so much. We probably had 30 or 40 people show up, I was pretty impressed.  What a great day and way to start the new year.  Hey Mike and Merle, you missed out!

Baller eleeski Posted January 1, 2011 Baller Share Posted January 1, 2011 Goode skis rocked today. Of course, they were snow skis floating through powder. In winter, that's appropriate skiing.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Sullivan Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 "In winter, that's appropriate skiing". Appropriate, I'll give you that but not ideal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted January 1, 2011 Baller Share Posted January 1, 2011 With Squaw Valley's steep hills and sweet powder early and soft bumps late, today was pretty close to ideal.Enjoying what you are given.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted January 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted January 2, 2011 I had wanted to ski on the 1st. But after about 39 beers and what seemed like 12 patron shots on Friday night, I was in no shape to do anything but hold down my couch. Good thing I skied Monday and Thursday. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller disland Posted January 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted January 2, 2011 Princeton had the annual polar bear club. We had 2 slalom skiers, 3 barefooters and 2 wakeboarders. Air temp 37 water 47. My son skied in shorts. he's 15 so he is either not smart enough, or old enough yet to wear a dry suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmiller3536 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 A little late to chime in, I was the lone soul at our lake to ski this weekend. Perfect conditions water around 49 and air temp about 40-45. My hands never went numb so it was a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MAD11 Posted January 3, 2011 Baller Share Posted January 3, 2011 Duck hunted in the morning and skied in the afternoon Sat and Sun. That's a darn good weekend. Water was 10 degrees colder than right after Christmas, but no complaining! Wish there were some greenheads in the bag. Been too warm for many good ducks to show up here yet. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/marcaustin11/AbbeyNicholsHouse01-01-11.jpghttp://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/marcaustin11/Jan1st2011.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted January 4, 2011 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2011 We just flooded the lake trying to get it smooth enough to skate on. Some snow on not frozen enough water messed it up a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller baja Posted January 7, 2011 Baller Share Posted January 7, 2011 Triathlon yesterday with a couple of ski buddies... Birds, balls, and beers. Duck hunting, 2 hunters got 5 mallards. Mmmmm, duck breast for dinner tomorrow. Balls, 3 skiers, all ran opening passes and thought that 45 degree water and foggy 40 degree air makes for ffffffff-ing cold hands which were remedied with hot water in cooler. Beers, Coronas with chips and salsa which was a much appreciated reward and reminder of the sunny warm days on the water that are ahead. Cheers.
