londonskier Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Golf! You can dress warm. I know there are other ballers who play golf. Including Andy Mapple. And a bit of Snow skiing in Austria, but it's a big journey and expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted December 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted December 21, 2012 @MS -- I've always liked being the enforcer. I got do play that role in intramural basketball. What, hard foul on my guy driving the lane? I'll see you in the paint on the other end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbski Posted December 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted December 21, 2012 Not trying to diss on skibrains rig (any iceboat is cool) but I thought those who haven't seen an iceboat would enjoy seeing a more conventional set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted December 21, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted December 21, 2012 We have been known to hook up a rope to a 4 wheeler and snow ski throught the course on the solid water. Not quite as fun as Alta/Snowbird/Jackson . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbski Posted December 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted December 21, 2012 We've had a gps a couple of times. With a 15-20 wind on a broad reach we can average around 45-50mph. Throw in a couple of gusts and I'm sure we're getting close to 60. When the boat hikes up on two runners and your mast looks like a pretzel it feels like a 100!

Baller Andy Posted December 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted December 22, 2012 @dbski and skibrain, I started in the Skimmer 45 ( still have it) at about age 14. Built a couple DN since, the DN is great fun. I run a "stock" rig. Always a good time. dbski, really nice boat! I appreciate the ice info, will email soon.

Baller_ Wish Posted December 22, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted December 22, 2012 Well, records show we have a 'feels like temp" of 32F this morning in Orlando. Now all we need is altitude, snow fall and a mountain and I'll be set. To bad one outa four wont make that happen. So water skiing it is. :) Right after it "feels like" 60.

KrW Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Snow ski, with the same guys I ski with in summer. (Except one who is on a board) we probably see more of each other than our wives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eleeski Posted December 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted December 27, 2012 @MS Steeleys and steelhead! Fantastic! Maybe fishing is better than skiing because beer doesn't interfere with your ability to fish. However my liver is better off skiing and delaying the alcohol. Steelhead battered in Steel Reserve? Who's got the recipe? Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted December 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted December 30, 2012 Just came back from 3 days of skiing in NH. we had to leave in the middle of a snow storm unfortunately. Skiing was good for December in the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller xrated Posted December 31, 2012 Baller Share Posted December 31, 2012 @MS where was that? Got back out and stared down a black hole for the first time in 6 years this weekend...forgot how much I enjoy crappies!!!! Otherwise it is a snowmobile for me when it gets cold. cold temps don't keep me inside, there is always something to do, even if it is just a walk in the spruce bog or going out and listening to the ice make music.

Baller dbski Posted January 1, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 1, 2013 One of the coolest things in the winter is hearing the ice "sing". Last winter there wasn't much snow and on a clear cold night the ice sang so loud you could hear it inside the house. For you southerners it's similar to the sounds whales make.

Baller Skoot1123 Posted January 1, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 1, 2013 Try to snow ski as much as I can. But last year I didn't ski at all. Basiclly it is hockey and working out that keep me motivated. That and the occasional trip south to ski - now I have that itch to waterski again!! (Never lost it, just k we I wouldn't be skiing with the weather we have had) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted January 2, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 2, 2013 A couple of loops with @KRLee and @jimbrake at Squaw drives how much fun skiing - water or snow can be. These guys rock on both water and snow. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Not_The_Pug Posted January 2, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 2, 2013 @eleeski and @jimbrake, Great day on the hill, glad we could finally hook up for some runs. After @eleeski 's finally got on the hill about noon. :) I think he tried to keep up with the college kids the night before! Looking forward to some more great days on the hill.

Baller scuppers Posted January 3, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 3, 2013 I really like snowboarding and since I've gotten older and had a calcanious fracture in 2005. I've become a better baorder than a skier. I typically buy an Epic Pass (Colorado) and get out there for 2 to 3 weeks a year. Expensive but worth it. My favorite mountain is Beaver Creek.

Baller 6balls Posted January 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2013 @dbski I think it sounds like a photon torpedo out of a movie when making ice. Scares the crap out of the uninformed if they are out skating with us and the ice cracks a big noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted January 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2013 @6balls - I love that sound of ice cracking when it's super cold out. Skating on a pond playing hockey can't be beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller cobber Posted January 7, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 7, 2013 Play hockey twice a week, ski the odd weekend until the snowmobile trails are opened and then snowmobile every weekend I can, only problem is we are getting less and less snow every winter hear in Southern Ontario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andy Posted January 9, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm starting to wonder if the lake will freeze this winter. Supposed to be 50 or so later in the week. Might have to get out the Harley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aswinter05 Posted January 9, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 9, 2013 Just finished skiing at Breckenridge and Vail for a week. Snow skiing was my first love. Nothing like hitting the blacks and bowls out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Rich Posted January 9, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 9, 2013 I try to water ski about once every 10 days, to stay in tune. Snow ski about 25 days, so that is recreation. Bikram Yoga 5-6 days a week. That is the best way to stay in condition for the season. Some weight training, I have been doing less of that as I want my BMI to be lower, so I want less muscle that is just weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
