Baller ricar116 Posted February 18, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 18, 2016 Travelling to Clearwater first week of April. Looking for first sets of the season for a long line skier. Thank you in advance Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted February 18, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 18, 2016 I don't know the Clearwater area but all ski schools have skiers of all abilities there and I have found them all very welcoming. Pick the closest one and go have fun and learn something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Orlando76 Posted February 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 19, 2016 Think McCormicks is the closest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted February 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 19, 2016 McCormicks is running both a boat-pulled and cableski operation. This is their website: http://skimccormick.com The cable is mainly for wakeboarders, but you could get a warmup ski ride for low $ there. The cable runs at mellow speeds, but the start is QUICK! If you want to use the cable, bring a helmet and vest. Both required. The boat lake is starting to get busy now, in anticipation of Spring tournaments in Florida.

Baller_ lpskier Posted February 20, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted February 20, 2016 "Wally's" keep ski schools in business. The typical ski school student is a 15/22 off skier at best Don't be intimidated. There'll be lots of skiers just like you. Remember, at one point in his life, Nate was a Wally. Okay, maybe only like for a week. But still... McCormick's is closest to Clearwater, but Lucky's is also in the neighborhood. Lake Alfred, a few more miles up I 4. I don't know what they charge at McCormick's, but Lucky is pretty reasonable. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bishop8950 Posted February 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 20, 2016 I have yet to see a ski school not friendly to beginners. It's usually a mix of skier levels which makes it more interesting. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted February 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 20, 2016 Sometimes it's more fun to teach beginners because big gains can be had in short order. Always fun to watch someone get significantly better. I haven't gotten significantly better in many years (and I might just be getting worse):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
