Baller rodltg2 Posted March 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted March 30, 2012 I drive by the site every so often located along 80 and I never see anyone using the lake. Do they still use it for skiing? I skied there when my parents bought a 1990 Ski Brendella from Ski World. We did our test drive there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted March 31, 2012 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2012 We can only ski there from May thru Sept and during those months there are scheduled hours each day. Come by on a Wednesday night June thru August and you can ski with us in our Ski League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chuck_Dickey Posted March 31, 2012 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2012 @Mateo Something to do with bird habitation, isn't it? The rest of the year your club is out in the Delta somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted March 31, 2012 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yes, about 15 yrs ago our usage was cut by the city from 8 months/yr down to only 5 months because of migrating birds. Our hours of usage are negotiated with the rowing club who have no restrictions. We also have a site in the Delta which is open all year. Established in the late '60s the Berkeley Aquatic Park is a historic site which has hosted a few Regionals, the '77 Nationals, a Pan-Am games event and the Cal Cup which were the first cash prize tournaments. How many Ballers out there have skied or been to an event at the Aquatic Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spent many days with Mateo at Berkeley skiing in the mornings and evenings. He has a great ski league going on in the summer if is a lot of fun. Good people good skiing.

Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted March 31, 2012 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2012 @MattP come on out. I'm sure you can find a job out here at some internet start-up. You can be our mole in the Rowing club. Two perosn boats is the biggest thing I've seen down there. The crew type rowiong is done nearby in the Oakland Estuary.
