Baller XR6Hurricane Posted August 22, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2013 3 minutes across town to the neighborhood beach where my dad has a house with lake rights. 10 minutes to the river. Work is an hour away and I wouldn't give up the lifestyle here for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 22, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2013 I live on a public lake with a course. I drive an hour about once a week to a friends private site so my son can jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ALPJr Posted August 22, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2013 We're about 5 minutes from a nice public pond that's 3 miles long with a course,15 minutes from a small public pond with a submersible course, and 30 minutes from a large-busy public lake with a course & a private pond just the right size for our course. We tow the boat to them. Pretty lucky !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller otisg Posted August 22, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2013 My lake is Lake Placid. It is the other end of the State of New York from the "Fashionable" Hamptons.... So about 6 hours IF we leave at 4 A.M. But well worth it. There are some great skiers there - hard & soft water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller otisg Posted August 22, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2013 The original Lake Placid not the Florida or Minnesota knock offs... (hee hee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller B_S Posted August 22, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2013 About 120' from my bed. It takes me longer to lower the boat from the hoist than it does to get out of bed and walk down there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller PT Mike Posted August 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2013 Home site: drive 14 miles to marina, could take 17 min. or 55 min. if its rush hour.Launch boat, drive 10 min. to site, clip on turn buoys, ski, unclip buoys, return to marina & douche everything cause its salt water. Private site: drive 68 miles north of NYC, go skiing, drive home. Either way it's a minimum 4 hour commitment. And I can't wait to go skiing!

Baller Onside135 Posted August 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2013 BoS is awesome. Seeing the commitment level that others make to ski allows me to appreciate the setup I have and feel less guilty about the addiction that we all apparently share!

Baller rayn Posted August 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2013 40 steps down the hill. 6 minute boat ride to our cove on public lake with the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Brady Posted August 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2013 I am making the decision to join a private lake next season. Will be about a 70 minute drive, but the water will be much better and so much more worth it. For all you living on a lake....you are all bastards!!!!!! I am jealous. My only wish is that when I die...probably from an OTF, I want my ashes sprinkled in every private lake mentioned in this thread.... everyone needs a little Brady in their sinuses!!!

Baller mlange Posted August 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2013 25' ft. Yes. It's a "small" lot. The good news is that I can cut the grass w/ a weed eater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BCM Posted August 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2013 My last ski rides were a 3000 mile flight plus a 2hr drive to the house I was staying at then 90min to the lake... This spring I drove 12+ hours (one way) for 6 sets. Last spring a solid 12 hours for 4 sets... I didn't have any ski rides within 12hrs of home the past 2 years. If all goes as planned, next season will be about 90 minute drive to the private site, 30 to public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted August 26, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted August 26, 2013 Forty-five feet from my bed to my Nautique and a two minute drive to my course. Sound too easy? I nevertheless commute about 45 minutes each morning, door to course, to ski my friend's course on a nearby lake. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
