[skihard]

Looks like a sweet day upcoming to get out and do some swerving! Anyone else out skiing today?

 

 

[skialex]

One set today, air 59 water 53!

[Steven_Haines]

Not today but skied on the 2nd and 3rd. First sets of the year. Air around 80 and water was 58. Beautiful So Cal weather!

It's on!

[Bulldog]

That kind of weather in February is a Canadians dream...I am very jealous

[Horton]

80 here tomorrow. No wind

[smalor]

Very jealous.....prob another 1.5 months before I can get back at it

[LZywicki1]

Got sets in Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday in FL and at the Tampa airport waiting to head to the winter wounder land of MI.

[jmvana1]

Headed to Ft Lauderdale this weekend. Can't wait to get a couple of sets in with Ann at McGinnis!

[Horton]

my wetsuit is drying from my first ride and I think I'm going to go in trunks for my second ride. Air 80ish water not bad.

The lakes warming up springs coming

[ToddL]

I got a couple of sets in today. Air was 70 degrees, water was low fifties. We skied at 33 miles per hour but I tied my tournament PB off the dock! Not bad for February!

Ski gear on. 2mm full Camaro wetsuit (robbis ski shop), Life jacket, neo beanie (from the lady in Utah), Duck hunting gloves. Onto the back of the boat and air was 70, water was 45 ish, Wind about 30 MPH gusts straight down the course. White caps galore and boat all over the course due to wind. Didn't make a single buoy and even manage to do several helicopter turns pulling out prior to the boat even entering the course on one pass. Spent more time in the water than on the water but hey the ski season has now begun for me here in Colorado. Hopefully the only way is up from here. Everyone that doesn't do this sport thinks we are all several gallons low of a full tank of smarts. BTW meant to snow again on Weds. Ski on everybody as there were at least 5 of us skiing in Colorado this weekend.

@Horton you really gotta stop braggin already, the closet thing to a ski handle I have held in the past 4 months is a shovel and frankly it's just not the same..... Been a mild winter for the most part but Mother Nature lets us know when she isn't happy still..... #canadianwinterproblems

Two very nice sets in San Diego this morning, but the sea breeze kicked up quickly and messed up my wife's second set. Went to the beach after rinsing down the boat and grabbing some lunch. Big surf and a stiff onshore breeze, but lots of warm sun and lots of people. Another friend had some nice folks from Canyon Lake out for some sets as well -- looking forward to tournament season with that crew.

@bassfooter I should have come to poach a ride with you. It did get windy early. Hiking around the lighthouse at Point Loma was fun instead. San Diego rocks! But in February I'd rather be in Tahoe chasing powder. I don't rinse the salt water off my skis but I do like a shower so we need winter.

Skied today, Olympia Washington Set #2 for the year, air was around 55 water about 50.

[RichardDoane]

As always, it was a beautiful day at the lake....

 

 

[Horton]

@richarddoane why?

 

[RichardDoane]

@horton - there are so many answers to that question, but the most important is, "it was fun"

[nzcabbage]

Loving Summer in NZ.......but it is showing signs of a pending change with the odd cooler morning

 

[skialex]

Waterskiing on Saturday, alpine skiing on Sunday! Weather is closing in, a big snowfall is expected for the next 24 hours, not know when I'll be able to waterski again!

[skiep]

Skied the 1st and yesterday the 8th water 56 air 70 LK38

[Chef23]

Another foot of snow with more forecasted for later in the week. I am not sure I will ever ski again.

 

[jcamp]

Only 9 more days until Okeeheelee!

[Wolfeie]

Played hockey in morning then ran up to Bako to get 2 sets in with Charlie and Horton.

Air about 79-80, water 55 (estimate) water is warming and pump goes back on next weekend.

[Tyler_R]

Any of you California guys want to adopt a political consultant?? I I live on whiskey and bad jumping. It's still too cold here in the south to drop the boat.

[bassfooter]

@eleeski - Come on down any time. Would love to pull you a set or two. I am doing a daily snow dance - Mammoth got rained on, adding insult to injury. Never seen anything like it.

 

@Tyler_R - You really don't want to move to San Diego. It's the pits! I don't think it got much above 70 today.

[Tyler_R]

@bassfooter it was 54 today and it was the warmest it's been in a month...

[jimski]

Beside the dry suit,you would never know this was mid February in BC

[Wish]

Tomorrow morning it begins.

[cragginshred]

Way too warm in Nor Cal today. Water 60*/Air70* felt like April. We need snow/rain bad.

[Horton]

wore .5 mil warm top today. Was not really needed.

[skihard]

We skied here on Sat in only shorts. Reminded me of a nice Alberta day from my past!

Nice to know summer isn't far away :)

[Wolfeie]

Three setrs in Bako Sunday. Water up to 65, air 79....did not feel like February.

[Chef23]

Another 16" of snow yesterday and something like 80" for the month. It is insane here there are snowbanks on peoples driveways over head height. My boat is buried in snow and I am afraid my frame to support the cover has collapsed but I can't get to it.

[eleeski]

@Chef23 Can you send some of that to Tahoe? We're dying for snow here!

 

I'm up in Tahoe - I should have stayed in San Diego for waterskiing...

[RichardDoane]

water of 50, air of about 50 as the sun went down yesterday at Radar Lake, feels like Spring in the Pacific NW

 

 

[Horton]

Warm here yesterday

 

 

[rwskier]

 

 

Great day at Winlock Waters for the month of February.

[TravisNW]

10 sets in at Skiview this month. It's way to comfortable for February, I've been contemplating the wetsuit to start taking care of spray leg.

[Texas6]

3 sets here in late Feb. Just enough to loosen up the stiff muscles before the warm weather gets here for good. Bring it'

[colo_skier]

Not sure what happened to my last post so repeating. Why does Horton's last post remind me of the last scenes of "Who framed Roger rabbit?"

[skihard]

Was only 48 degrees when I went out for a rip tonight! Sh*t was skiing in shorts on Sunday and dry suit this afternoon!

Wife was a good sport to drive for me in the cold with all the neighbors not home yet! :)

[andjules]

I got 4 sets over an extended President's Day wknd visiting my brother in Fort Lauderdale. The last one was at McGinnis' in less-than-perfect conditions and I managed to run my first ZeroOff -32 off (had run it 7 or 8 times on PP). Not bad for the offseason.

[Stathis Ventouris]

One set on the 28th (previous set on the 1st) excellent conditions water 60, air 59 and cloudy. Tried new settings and really enjoyed it, 100% success.
