Baller Texas6 Posted September 10, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 10, 2013 Ballers - I'll be traveling to San Diego next week on business, and have an afternoon/evening off next Tuesday the 17th. If anybody in the area is skiing and has room, please let a brother know. I'll bring gas money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted September 11, 2013 Anyone? Bueller? Kidding, in looking at the map it appears Mission Bay is the only site in the vicinity with a course. Are there others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Sullivan Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Dang, I was hoping you would do the leg work for me. I will be there in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Steven_Haines Posted September 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2013 I've got to pick my wife up at the airport on the 17th. So can't help you.... but....I can get you a couple contact numbers for rides in Canyon Lake. Typically, there's a group that skis M W F in the am but we have one gentleman who really enjoys meeting and accommodating wayward skiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Steven_Haines Posted September 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2013 not to say that I don't enjoy meeting wayward skiers but my boat is in the beginning stages of a upholstery project so....that doesn't help much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted September 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2013 Mission Bay is pretty the only game in town. Hidden Anchorage off of Fiesta island is where the course is. I hitch rides there occasionally - just make sure they know you are a skier as most of the traffic is dog walkers. Try contacting somebody from San Diego Mission Bay Boat and Ski Club (SDMBBSC). I'm on injured reserve for a few more weeks and the weather is still monsoon too much for my plane to get to my lake reliably so I can't help you. Springtime?

Baller bassfooter Posted September 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2013 @Texas6 The course on Mission Bay gets pretty windy nearly every afternoon. Here's the weather station on our starting dock. You can click back to see what the wind's been doing on previous days. I'm going out first thing Tuesday morning the 17th, so if you can get to the launch ramp at sunrise, I can all but guarantee a good set for you with some super-nice people. It's saltwater, so it feels really fast and you'll want to rinse down your ski. Your only other choices are the (very) private courses at Canyon Lake an hour north or Imperial Lakes 1.5 hours east. I can try to hook you up in those places, but it's hit and miss. Let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller colo_skier Posted September 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2013 I skied Canyon Lake when I was out there and it was well worth the drive. Hope you can get hooked up to get some sets in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted September 12, 2013 @bassfooter, @Steven Haines, @eleeski, @colo_skier, Thank you all VERY much I sincerely appreciate it. I can make it in the late afternoon on Tuesday but the morning is a no go due to meetings. I have the afternoon off and would love to drive out to Canyon Lake if you think I might be able to find a ride and meet a new skier or two Tuesday late afternoon or evening at some point? You guys are awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller colo_skier Posted September 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2013 You can drive to canyon lake but it's a gated community and you can only get in if someone has phoned a pass in for you at the gate. You will really need to set this up with someone their. Look at the lake on Goggle earth to get an idea of were the slalom course and ski docks are at.

Baller Texas6 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted September 13, 2013 I totally understand and wouldn't head that way unless I made contact with somebody prior. I am just thankful people are attempting to help me make that contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Steven_Haines Posted September 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2013 @texas6, I'll find out for you today if Huge would be available. What time you thinking? Sorry I won't be there, would like to take some set with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted September 13, 2013 @Steven Haines, I have an event at Torrey Pines that ends at noon. I can be there anytime that its convenient for Hugh. I would assume he likely isn't available until after 5:00 and if that's the case, Im totally fine with it and will defer to his schedule since I am the guest. Next time, we're skiing! Or if you ever get down to Houston, it's on me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller colo_skier Posted September 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2013 @Texas6 Here's a snapshot from GE. The course is near to 2 push pins and is the red line. Hopefully it shows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
