Baller A_B Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 The water temp dropped a bunch with the last cold spell @MS sent our way, but weather is great this week. My bicep is feeling like I am on my way to shredding it, so I am missing this last bit of weather, based on warnings from other Ballers who have been down this path.

Baller gregy Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 Finally got to ski today for the first time since May. I might try to ski all winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted September 24, 2014 Supporting Member Share Posted September 24, 2014 Never give up! Well, eventually give up. November adds winds not blocked by leaves. Bad conditions AND freezing cold usually calls it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hardly began...5 ski sets in May. Looking forward to spring and a neck that's ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 End of October. The course will be sunk on the 19th or 24th. Boat gets pulled on the 24th.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Steven_Haines Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 The wife wishes I'd stop but that ain't happening! The water is still 84 and I'm in no mood for another bathroom remod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopowpow Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Pulled the boat yesterday. It was a shame on such a beautiful day... We could have left it in a little longer, but we're heading to Colorado for a week. Besides I skied last week and had to wear a wetsuit, I HATE wearing neo after a good summer. I can do it in the spring, but not in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashman Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Not done yet! Today's my buoyversary! 3 years ago today I rounded # 6 for the first time so I celebrated with a volume set and rounded 48 balls in a row. Air 60s water low 60s and perfectly comfortable in a camaro top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Zman Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 6-8 weeks, have fun over the Holidays, then grab every nice day with heater shirt or full wet suit. As long as it is not too cold for my driver (my wife). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 Should be close to a month left for free skiing. Course skiing ends when I winterize my father in-laws boat in a 2 weeks so that he can escape to florida and the winter boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted September 24, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted September 24, 2014 I skied tonight, will probably ski Thursday, have a tournament on Saturday, and also plan to ski Sunday. We've got a week of sun, low winds, and mid 70s forecasted here. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 Mine is over but because of nagging injuries. Ordinarily here would be a few weeks left. I will probably pull the boat in the next two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skihard Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 Live in Texas and ski year round. Losing the daylight during the work week sucks but the water temps in the winter here are like spring and fall temps in Canada so no point in stopping! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogboy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Never stop. That's what dry suits, and hot water showers are for. I don't want to loose any progress I have worked for. The northwest usually doesn't get too frozen in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 I usually ski until mid October, but an extremely bad back and upcoming spinal fusion in a few weeks made me put the boat away last weekend. If all goes well, I should be back on the water next May. Fingers crossed! Its tough because the weather is still awesome here in CO, with highs in the 80's and water in the upper 60's. Haven't worn rubber since spring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Commuterfisher Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 I am lucky to live close to Carlsbad Lagoon. It only gets better because the wakeboarders and wakesurfers are gone after September. Getting ready for Acapulco in November. Watersking 3-5 times per week and beginning yoga for the back. Hardest thing I have ever done. Never Give UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller adkh2oskier Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 Will ski through Colombus Day but the course will get pulled by this weekend. The way my course is oriented SW-NE I can't ski it in one direction after 2pm because of the sun glare. I really enjoy free skiing anyway start at 22 then chop it to 28 and 32 after skiing 40-50 turns in a row. Water temp is already in the mid 50's so it's into shorty weather, don't bother w a full suit, too restrictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller oldjeep Posted September 26, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 26, 2014 Another beautiful day yesterday, season must be nearly over since I finally started completing passes again and then did a nice gentle OTF flip on the next one. 75 and sunny and supposed to be more of the same for the next 3-5 days. Water temp is down to around 63. Skiing directly into the sun is kind of a challenge even with the sunglasses on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller adkh2oskier Posted September 26, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 26, 2014 Can't win. go out for a set a lunch time, dead calm, sunny. Get to the blue rope and 3 jet skis show up. Air temp about 72, water 60. Air temp is actually warmer than a few of the days of the Eastern Regionals in Lake Placid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller A_B Posted September 27, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 27, 2014 Couldn't resist today. 75 air and 65 ish water. Bare backed and fairly comfortable after the first jump in. Took it easy on the arm and just got some exercise. Been a rough couple weeks with diverticulitis, strained arm and sore back (from lifting the golf clubs out of the car of all things). Weather picked up after the cold snap so just had to go. Next week looks about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted September 28, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2014 Water temp here in the KC area is 70, air low 80's this weekend into at least mid next week. Spent the day stripping and waxing the 'Bu (she looks GOOD!), will probably winterize and put it away next weekend but my buds at Raintree are still skiing so I'm hanging with them until they quit, hopefully not for another 2 - 3 weeks at least. Skied with them Friday and skiing tomorrow (Sunday) morning. Sure hate to see it end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller GOODESkier Posted September 28, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2014 Skied in shorts and an eagle vest yesterday. Ran up to match my summer PB of 4@39.5' OFF. I know, it is just practice and doesn't count, but in Central Washington, at the end of September, a 78 degree day with 70 degree water, running a head and tail 38, and on pace to run 39.5 was a GREAT FEELING! @Deanoski and I have had a GREAT SUMMER OF SKIING.

Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted September 28, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2014 Those of you who wear "heater shirts" to extend the season a bit -- is that just a lycra shirt (aka rash guard) or is it a neoprene top (aka wetsuit jacket)? If it is neoprene, what thickness is good to add some nice warmth but not be restrictive? I was thinking of getting a 2mm wetsuit jacket for skiing, but I've never tried wearing one before.

Baller skier2788 Posted September 28, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2014 @TallSkinnyGuy I wear what you call a wetsuit jacket I guess. A camaro 2 mm top. Camaro is the best for warmth and less restrictive. If looking for one get a camaro. Got mine from robbys ski shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
