Baller aupatking Posted February 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 21, 2016 Have to qualify my "never stopped". Free skied, 3-4 days in January, a couple sets each time. Skied for the second time in February today, and got first set of the year on the course. Ugly stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skiinxs Posted February 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 21, 2016 Actually didn't ski myself today, but I pulled my wife and daughter on some slow speed jumper passes on the slalom course. Water temp was only 42, but it was frozen a couple days ago. Any time you get a 75 degree day in St. Louis in February, you HAVE to make good use of it!

Baller Texas6 Posted February 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 21, 2016 We're getting close - would have started already but we lowered the lake for shoreline maintenance and haven't gotten rain since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted February 21, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted February 21, 2016 @Horton, your vote says you have started. I didn't realize you were back on the water from your injury yet. How did it go? The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted February 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 21, 2016 I share your frustration @Texas6. We've missed some great ski days over the last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lakeaustinskier Posted February 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 21, 2016 First set today. Only free skiing with the goal of proper body position. Hopefully my winter workout idea of farmer carries with kettle bells will help lessen the typical early season soreness and weakness in my forearms.

Baller Andre Posted February 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 21, 2016 How did the arm felt ? Any pain? My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted February 21, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted February 21, 2016 @Andre felt fine. I made a point to not put much pressure on my arm. I am sure that I am healthy but I am a bit gun shy. I plan to take maybe 10 easy rides before I try to really ski. Every ride is a workout that makes me a little stronger and more confident. I will get my powervest in a week or so and then you guys can all abuse me more.

Baller Fine409 Posted February 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 21, 2016 About 14" of ice remains. Should be skiing in late March if the long range forecast is halfway accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller GAJ0004 Posted February 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 21, 2016 Did get to do some skiing on Christmas day at Lake Latonka, one and a half months later I was skating on Aurora Lake. Lake Latonka is now partially frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeprunc Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I started open water skiing...but pulled the boat out of the water to do a few late winter projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted February 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 22, 2016 @MS I was almost thinking the same thing. The percentage of skiers who have ice is very high so I thought that they probably have more time to spare posting on BOS. It would be interesting to see if number of posts drops in July compared to December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted February 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 22, 2016 @Mark_Matis you might be right but personally I send more time on BOS now than at the peak of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GOODESkier Posted February 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 22, 2016 Couple trips to CA this winter, BUT I think it is nearing time to man up and get @Deanoski on the pond with me............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Fast351 Posted February 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 22, 2016 With a little warm weather we're looking at another month before the ice comes out. If it's bad, it could be another 45-60 days. On the positive side, it gives me a chance to put the boat back together at a relaxing pace :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Waternut Posted February 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 23, 2016 Not really sure how to answer that honestly... For the first time, I've been skiing maybe 1-2 times a month over the winter but it's all been open water and not course skiing. So I never quit but I do hope to hit the course before March ends. I've finally got someone else who will ski with me in the cold water and I'm really hoping this helps me pick up the season a lot faster than last year when it took me months to get back to where I left off the year before.
