londonskier Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm going there in the summer. Never been before. With the wife & kids, wife doesn't ski. Anyone know of a ski club or pro ski coach near there? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller liquid d Posted February 3, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 3, 2013 Take a shot at surfing while there! Newport Beach, Dana Point, the Tressles....you're in the Mecca for the mainland! They'll love the beach too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocalWaterSki Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Depends on when in the summer you come down this way. If you want a course, those are harder to find and further away... if you just want to get out and ski, marine stadium is right up the road.

Administrators Horton Posted February 3, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 3, 2013 This sucks but there is really nothing close by. There are Ballers that ski at Canyon Lake, Newberry or Arvin but nothing within an hour drive. There is no place where you can just show up and buy a ride except my dad's place. It was a full on ski school 20 years ago but today if you run 28 off or more you might be disappointed.

londonskier Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks for comments. I think I may have to change my vacation plans if there is no slalom course. Can you guys reccomend another location up the coast, going towards LA where I can ski. I'll get withdrawl symptons, grouchy, moody, resentful etc - you all know, if I go two weeks in August with no Slalom. But @horton ,I may just ski at your dads place if I can. Slalom course?

h2odawg79 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 There is also Canyon Lake, Elsinore and the Quarry in Corona, (which are the closest courses. Approx: 45min's) if you can hook up w/one or two fellow BOS members that Ski those locations... (There are at least 3 on BOS. But, this is the off-season and they be off-line!)

Baller danbirch Posted February 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 4, 2013 You're welcome to ski with us in Canyon Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Steven_Haines Posted February 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 4, 2013 There's no need to change plans. Newport is awesome and if you decide on Canyon, it's a quick trip over the Ortega Hwy (approx. 1 hr) Depending when ur there, i could also offer up some rides. The Ortega is a twisty mtn road.

Baller The_Krista Posted February 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 4, 2013 @Londonskier ... Come ski with us in Canyon Lake! You can make it an hour from Newport over the Ortega easy! Lots of friendly people to ski with (clearly!) right @Steven Haines and @Danbirch ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonskier Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Thanks all. @the_krista and @danbirch and@rico and@h20dawg79 and @ Steven Haines sounds like the Canyon then. Probably late August, I'll shout out on BoS and hope to hook up with you then. I have been a member of Princes in Lodon and am part of an action group trying to get skiing back on the water there following its recent closure. That said I'm skiing at Thorpe Park with John Battleday and enjoying it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller colo_skier Posted February 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 5, 2013 How about a BOSer that visits Coto-de-Caza and has skied a few sets at the quarry? Are they welcome to go over the twister and ski the Canyon also? I use to have a British accent a long time ago. Me trouble and strife doesn't ski but I'd love to ski with some new blokes or ladies. also if time permitted like to ski at the web founders place.
