Baller mwfillmore Posted April 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2016 Submitting an application to BLM soon and I was wondering if any one had a picture of the sign outside of the public ski course on New Melones or Don Pedro. Or any other public lake would help. Not limited to California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted April 22, 2016 Administrators Share Posted April 22, 2016 Only public courses south of Sac that i can think of are nacimiento or Mission bay Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Hallpass Posted April 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2016 @Horton , Lake McClure, New Melones, San Mateo Marina Lagoon come to mind. I don't know if they are paid for with public funds, but they are public waterways and I've never seen a keep out sign. FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rodltg2 Posted April 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2016 The afterbay outside of Chico/Oroville Had a course and I remember a sign. Haven't been there in years and don't know if it's still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller keithh2oskier Posted April 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2016 Berryessa has a course on it I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Hockdog Posted April 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2016 Berryessa does have a course, the Bureau of Reclamation has juristiction of the lake, BLM may be easier to deal with..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BCM Posted April 24, 2016 Baller Share Posted April 24, 2016 @mwfillmore - PM me, I can put you in touch with the folks at New Melones. Not sure if they have a picture of the sign, but I bet they have info on the language used. @Hallpass - New Melones is funded and maintained by a the New Melones Waterski Club. The course is open to the public (requirement of the BOR). I believe Nacimiento had some language that would not have been applicable on many other lakes. The lake is managed by counties (its a weird setup) and they were able to get an enforceable no wake zone inside the course area. That was not the case with signage or enforcement at New Melones.

Baller mwfillmore Posted November 17, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted November 17, 2016 Bringing this thread back to life... It's currently looking up for a ski course near Folsom. If you're interested in getting involved PM me. Our contact with club members/future club members will be through email and facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted November 20, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted November 20, 2016 If he shot a man in Reno (NV), why was the protagonist in Johnny Cash's song serving his time in Folsom (CA)? Also, Pinnicles National Monument is in the vicinity of Folsom. Very cool place. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimbrake Posted November 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2016 @mwfillmore - "near" Folsom or "on" Folsom (Lake)? That would be very cool for the region. Slight digression - We had a coach/driver at Bell Acqua Lake 1 this year - Craig Irons from Adelaide, Australia. He did a great job of getting the word out to the skiing public that Bell Acqua was available for ski rides, coached or not. I was really surprised to see how many new faces we had show up at the lake to take a set. I can't help but think that if someone would just lead the charge in getting the word out that a course is available to the public that we'd have a lot more skiers. @lpskier - Pinnacles is in the vicinity of Folsom? Pinnacles is in the Coast Ranges southeast of Monterey. It's over 3 hrs away, but you're right, it is a cool place for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rodltg2 Posted November 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2016 It would be great to have a course on Folsom. But there is really no place to put one other than a 5 mile zone. The only cove I know of that would work gets shallow early on. I used to put a portable in and ski early weekdays . I got ticketed by the sheriff for obstructing a water way. Never did it again.

Baller_ lpskier Posted November 21, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted November 21, 2016 @jimbrake I live in FL. Therefore everything in California is in the vicinity of Folsom. ;-) I recall my wife being nervous about a jailbreak when we camped there circa 1986. Maybe it was Soledad?

Baller cragginshred Posted November 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2016 @mwfillmore New Melones had a course for years but it is still high and dry due to the drought and the Feds sending all our water from last winter to LA under the premise of 'save the fish' or something. Don Pedro had plenty of water last summer and I am curious about a course there due to the private lake I ski at being sold and no longer operating in the next couple of years. Pedro had one for many years but I don't know who maintained it. If you've seen the ski movie 'Edged in water 2' the last scene is Don Pedro. Pretty cool from France to 'Hill Billy ville' -Cali foothills! I live in Sonora and was a member of the Melones club for a bit but I have no hopes of having enough water there for many years due to the lake levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimbrake Posted November 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 22, 2016 @cragginshred - Sunspray has been sold?! New owners not going to operate a club? That's a bummer. I know it's not close enough to you for daily skiing, but you can always come get a set or three at Bell Acqua when you have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller cragginshred Posted November 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 22, 2016 @jimbrake I should have worded that better. Likely selling soon. I will fill you in with a pm. I will take you up on the offer to ski at the Bell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
