Baller Chef23 Posted April 1, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 1, 2015 Go ski with Lucky it is a great experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted April 1, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 1, 2015 I concur. Lucky's is the place to ski. Aside from Lucky being a great coach, it has been windy here the last several days, and Lucky has three different courses so you are covered in just about any eventuality. Also, on Saturday a group of skiers are trying to set a world record: most skiers over a jump at once. Several ramps are being assembled and the magic number is 40 over the top at once. That will be worth watching. If you are a jumper, bring your gear. They may need extra bodies, you never know... Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skihack Posted April 1, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted April 1, 2015 I was looking more for a local lake. Skiing at McCormicks would be nice but get expensive after a couple of sets. I am possibly moving down there so I was looking for maybe ski buddies or a place to practice. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted April 1, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 1, 2015 I live here and ski at Lucky's and LaPoints'. Far cheaper than owning a boat and lake front property. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skihack Posted April 1, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted April 1, 2015 lpskier, you are probably right, no more than I ski nowadays. Boat is old but paid for. Not looking for lakefront property as I saw that it was very high in Clermont. I will probably look up Lucky as it looks to be close by. Lapoints', I do not know where they are though. Thanks!

Baller_ lpskier Posted April 1, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 1, 2015 If you are in Lakeland, Lucky's is your spot. LaPoints' is about 40 minutes further north. Clermont (Jack's, Swiss) is further north still. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted April 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2015 @skimech, if you're looking to move and you want a place to ski with your boat, Ski Paradise is your best bet. Located just east of Mulberry, it has two slalom courses and a jump. It is a membership arrangement and you can store your boat on site. Contact Ruth Johnston at rjoh10514 at aol dot com. Tell her Leon referred you. Let me know how you like it by PM or email. See my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ilivetoski Posted April 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2015 Luckys is an odd place to ski. I remember skiing there and there was a solid 15 mph wind on the course right in front of me. So I let some others ski. He took them to the course on the other side and I still figured that would not matter. When it was my turn it was still 15 mph winds, but when I got to the other course it was glass! I couldnt believe it. Great place to ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted April 3, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 3, 2015 @LeonL, Do you know what an annual membership costs at Ski Paradise? The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skierjp Posted April 3, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 3, 2015 It's around $550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted April 3, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks @skierjp. That is a good price. I just added this to my list of candidate locations for my eventual move to Florida. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
