Baller colo_skier Posted November 7, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 7, 2014 Never been able to as it was fae easier and more fun to ski with @pq2. However if you do a thread search for Cancun you will find several references to @pq2 and his support of fellow ballers down there. I have not seen him post in a while but if he is still skiing I am sure he will chime in. I may have to go down to Club Med since they have skiing right at the resort.

Baller Edbrazil Posted November 8, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2014 I worked a tournament in Cancun, along with CW Lowe and others. Was in the bay, not in the ocean. I don't remember a lot other than the manana attitude and scrambling to get things done at the last minute. Including jumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller colo_skier Posted November 8, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2014 There are 3 slalom course in the lagoon and 2 in the Club med small lagoon. @pq2 was a very gracious host to a few of us here on BOS. I hope all is well with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmonipoux Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hello, I have been in Cancun 6 times during the last 4 years. August, April and December. So I really know about skiing in Cancun. If you are a beginner skier, Club Med is very fine unless during French vacation where you have to wait quiet a long time before skiing. I you are a "slalom beginner" you can ski with club med, they have a specific schedule for slalom every morning from 8 to 9. But the boats do not have any perfect pass or Zero off. And the course is wrong and you can not sink after the 6 buoys, only after 2 times 6 buoys. And there is no coaching at all. Last August, I was the best club med skier and I was skiing better that the 4 ski GO's. They are very friendly but are not good coachs. (I ski 22 off at 34, so you see I am not good....) If you are a good skier and if you want to ski in perfect conditions, go with Scott. Some will tell you that he is an alcoholic and that he never shows up, this is not true. He is sometime late, for sure. But my wife and I have done 6 times 2 weeks of slalom ski with him. 3 times 6 passes a day. And we had great coaching, great service and very good feeling, he is a very nice guy. He has 2 courses just outside club med depending on the wind. The water is most of the time flat like my swimming pool. His boat is not new but works great and you can take your time between the passes, he picks you up at club med if you are staying there and Scott is very friendly. If you want some more info, you can contact me of course. Go with Scott but be sure to call him before to let him know you go to Cancun just for him.... Have a good day. Nicolas, from France.

desmonipoux Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 should I say If you are a beginner skier, Club Med is very fine UNLESS during French vacation where you have to wait quiet a long time before skiing. OR If you are a beginner skier, Club Med is very fine EXCEPT during French vacation where you have to wait quiet a long time before skiing. Thank you....

Baller colo_skier Posted November 10, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 10, 2014 @pq2 Not planning on coming anytime soon. However I did get to ski with Andy Mapple and I agree with what you said about him being a great bloke. Glad to see you are still getting to ski.

Supporting Member TustinTom Posted November 11, 2014 Supporting Member Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi: I skied with Scott about 10 yrs ago. Met him at his ski site. He was on time, and was very patient with the beginner kids and other adult. I was and still am a "beginner" course skier. He had great instruction for everyone. He was also ready from a "first aid" standpoint. One of the kids while getting on a ski cut his calf across a sunken bouy marker (most are marked/known). He was on it with a bacterial infection bottle and bandages. At that time he had a Barefoot Mastercraft for skiing and I think a Supra for Wakeboarders. A personal invitation from @pq2 sounds awesome. Hope this helps. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I will be there for a long week around March 9. I hope to get a few sets/rides then.. VERY rusty though- no skiing for me since last August :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Bond Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thats how I felt Dusty . Very rusty and out of shape not to mention how drunk we were at 7 am from the late night before. But it was very worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosport Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Heading to Cancun in 2 weeks (March 13-20) and plan on bringing my ski. @pq2 how bad are the crocodiles in the lagoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller colo_skier Posted March 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2015 Didn't see any crocodiles when I was there. The huge sting ray gliding out to the 1 ball underneath me was pretty cool though. Amazing how fast they can go when they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller slvrbulit Posted March 2, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted March 2, 2015 I didn't see any when @pq2 took myself and @Stephen Bond skiing, but I sure was looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Not plannng on bringing my ski- Are there any operators with good rental equipment? Will bring gloves, tape etc, maybe even a vest, but the ski would be a serious hassle this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
