bchmbrs Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 My internship in West Palm Beach FL finishes up in two weeks. I will be driving back home to Connecticut starting on August 20th. I have a week to drive back before school starts and I thought it would be cool to see how many ski sites I could hit on my drive up. If anyone from FL to CT would be willing to give me a pull please let me know! I am fine driving a little bit off my route to see a site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller santangelo Posted August 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 8, 2016 @bchmbrs got bit hard by the bug this summer. Had never really skied a slalom course before. Started about 8 weeks ago at -15@28 and is now getting into -22@36, setting a new PB nearly every time he goes to the lake. Thanks for all the help this summer at Okee with our many projects and dock starting at tournaments (he dock-started from 8am-5pm at the BD qualifier...yes, all day long!) I'll hook you up with some rides in Virginia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swaterca Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 If you are driving through Houston I will give you a tug, private lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Mick04 Posted August 9, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2016 Where do you ski in CT? I'm in northeastern CT and will gladly give you a pull once you are home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bchmbrs Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 @Mick04 That would be awesome! I use to only free ski on the CT river. I started skiing the course once I moved to FL. I am thinking of joining the ski club in Avon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroddy Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Lake Zoar in Oxford, CT. Happy to give you a pull any time. Skied well into December last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted August 9, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted August 9, 2016 Stop in Charleston, SC and catch a set at Trophy Lakes, one of the premier sites in the east if not the country. Then drive another 10 minutes and take a lesson with Seth Stisher. Then continue up 95 to Bumpass (not a typo!) VA and catch a set with Cory Vaughn. Monroe, NY is only slightly out of your way but there you'll find Twin Lakes, the likely site of the 2017 Eastern Regionals. Google the site or coach names for contact information. Also, if I were you I'd get off 95 about a half hour north of Richmond (exit 104, I think) and take Route 301 to Baltimore. You will avoid Washington traffic and drive within a couple miles of Lake Holly and Timberlake. You can get contact info for those two sites from the Eastern Region Tournament Guide or off the USAWS website. #iskiconnelly Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted August 9, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2016 @bchmbrs depending on what day you go through Richmond I could pull you for a freeski run but I see @santangelo already has you covered in VA. @lpskier has good advice with route 301. Unless it is in the middle of the night 95 around DC is a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 9, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2016 Depending on how you are coming up you could swing by Coble's ski school in Lillington NC. john's Lake is in PA also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bbrandau Posted August 9, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2016 PM me and we can get you a pull on your way through Delaware. We're 15 minutes off 95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroddy Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 @bchmbrs , I am curious how you made out. Any side trips on your way up north? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bchmbrs Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 I had a great trip up north. I was able to ski with @AdamCord at Trophy Lakes and Rod Barney in Richmond Va. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
