Baller XR6Hurricane Posted April 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 15, 2013 Put a new impeller in the motor and ran the boat for about 10 minutes today for a shakedown run since it was sunny and the wind wasn't as bad as forecast. High was supposed to be 68 and it only made it to 51. Dipped my hand in the water and I'd say that Mother's Day with a wet suit will be a long shot. Minnesota is the only place I've been where you could ski on the 4th of July and be the only boat on the lake making a wake. Utah is probably the most totally freaking awesome place I've ever been. But every place has its own pluses and minuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted April 15, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted April 15, 2013 @OTF doesn't roll into my what....? Just left the great white north. Flight delays delays delays!!! Have had my flights changed twice and delayed 6 times. Gonna be a long night. BOS should eleiviate some of the boredom and frustration. Looking forward to temps above freezing (by about 50 degrees) and long ski sets this coming week. I'll wave to @OB when I fly over head. If I'm not fast asleep.

Baller estrom Posted April 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 17, 2013 Been sunny here for about a week now, but the wind has been HOWLING constantly. We had 3 days of 40-60mph winds. It's calmed down to about 20mph today. No fun. Had to sit outside for a baseball game the other night and I was colder than many nights watching the Giants at Candlestick.

Baller Marco Posted April 18, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 18, 2013 It snowed a foot here in Colorado yesterday. I'd be bummed but we really need the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted April 18, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 18, 2013 @marco - I'd give you some of the rain we have been having in the midwest. ~3 inches or so in the past two days. Yes, it's flooding here. At least the lakes will be full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted April 18, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 18, 2013 @Skoot1123 - I'd love to take you up on that. Our lake is filled by irrigation water, and they are already a week and a half late turning it on. Once it is on, well take over 2 weeks to fill back up, so we won't be skiing this year until early May. Usually we are good to go by the last week in April, but not this year.

Baller_ lpskier Posted April 18, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted April 18, 2013 My lake is still frozen solid, but I drove an hour and a half each way yesterday to get my first Eastern Region set of the year. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boarditup Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The value of my waterfront property is dropping by the minute... virtually everyone has waterfront property in western Michigan. over 9 inches of rain for the month already. At least Lake Michigan will rise from record lows. At least my lake is only 6" high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ The_MS Posted April 19, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted April 19, 2013 @6balls The run off from all the rain really took it down fast. Now if we could at least get some 60s, I may think about getting wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rq0013 Posted April 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 19, 2013 Ice is off here in southern WI, however we have had so much rain public lakes are up 2 ft and my lake has a lake restriction of slow-no-wake. Its been windy, cold and rainy for the last 2 weeks. Looks like another 10 days of the same. I dont think I will get to ski before visiting the Wilson Bros.

Baller gsm_peter Posted April 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 19, 2013 We still have 2 feet of ice so I am waiting and waiting and ..... know I will start season in a very very cold water :0( Type 40F. last year I skied in 45 and that was felt like sort of my lower limit. A lot of rain this week and tomorrow it will be sunny and warm. Got me a beanie (spelling?) yesterday. Plan to purchace additional socks next week. I hope to be able to squeze in 2 pair of 2.0 mm in my Vectors. One pair works ok. There will be a summer this year, I know it. The only questions is when?

Baller Up North Posted April 20, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 20, 2013 Jena and I might have to come down and see you @MS, as we still have 30" of ice, and just got another 17' of snow on Thrus/Friday which set an all time record of over 40" of snow in April in Duluth. I am guessing there will still be ice on the lakes up here on fishing opener May 11, but it should be out shortly after that. Amazing how different from last season when it set an early ice out record around March 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted April 20, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 20, 2013 I think I am going to put the dock in today. Maybe see if the accusink comes up off the bottom. Nothing looks better than a furry green slalom course surrounded by open water and snow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted April 20, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted April 20, 2013 @Up North We will start skiing this week if we have sun to keep the dry suit warm. Balls are going in today. We are 5 weeks behind last years pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted April 20, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 20, 2013 @MS -- our lake is still 98% covered in ice. New Germany might be open. Doesn't matter much since I'm having knee surgery on Tuesday. This weather sucks, but I guess if I have to get my knee fixed anyway, might as well have a slow spring.

Baller Razorskier1 Posted April 20, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 20, 2013 @MS -- could happen. This one only has 2.5 seasons on it. Planning to hold on to it for now. If the M6 turns out as good as it felt in Orlando I'll put it up for a good price at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eleeski Posted April 25, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2013 While I wouldn't call that skiing weather, I lost my Seattle ski buddy to that. @RichardDoane weren't you supposed to come down with Mike? You're missing high 90s and glass. Next time! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller xrated Posted April 25, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2013 @MS nice to hear that you have open water. I'd be knocking on the door with beer if my dry suit was down here. Let me know when it hits wetsuit temps. Still well over 2' of ice up around McGregor and covered with snow. On the plus side we should be sucker spearing over fishing opener instead of chasing walleyes with all the city folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
