Baller Chef23 Posted October 24, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 24, 2016 Boat came out today and winterized. I didn't have time to clean the hull maybe next weekend then put the winter cover on. Sad day. Someone was out skiing on my lake this afternoon though in 20 mph winds, 57* air and 51* water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MuskokaKy Posted October 25, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 25, 2016 @Stewy you're a champ bud! packed it in here in Ontario two weeks ago unfortunately. could probably get a week or so more in though. Keep on rippin' it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller scorban2 Posted October 28, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 28, 2016 Now that we've wrapped up harvest (1.5 months without skiing), looking to get out this weekend to sneak in one last run.

Baller oldjeep Posted October 28, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 28, 2016 It's actually going to be 70 here in a couple hours, if the wind dies down a bit (13-20 right now) we might get out after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller JAG Posted November 3, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 3, 2016 Boat is put away :( This year was probably my most enjoyable year skiing ever. A new Carbon V and a Goode Power Vest really helped me ski more/longer. 32 off never felt so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller wilecoyote Posted November 3, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 3, 2016 Sadly pulled mine out last weekend and winterized, so of course it was warm and glass the next day. Boat and one course are still in at the club, so maybe one more set this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted November 5, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2016 Most mornings start off chilly now (with vapor rising off the water), but by the time we have our portable course set up the sun is usually warming things up nicely. Might get a couple more weeks before it gets too cold to be comfortable/fun for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted November 5, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2016 Pulled my buddy though the course last weekend and packed the Buoys away. Blew some Tenerite up and shot a few hundred rounds with my new toy. The tow boat is in the garage waiting to pull some crazy guys and gals the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Life is good.

Baller oldjeep Posted November 6, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 6, 2016 After a beautiful day yesterday, I'm going to call it a season and winterize today. It got up to 70 yesterday which is just bizarre for MN in Nov, water temp is around 50. Hardly a boat on the lake, nav buoys are mostly gone so you need to be careful and the launch only has one short dock still in. Got out for my last ski runs and my wife and I had a nice lunch on the patio at Fletchers, can't really see this going another week as the long term forecast is calling for highs in the 40's next weekend. Been an excellent season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Ski_Dad Posted November 6, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 6, 2016 we had a really nice ski day this week in Ohio. Air 75, water 54. Got some funny looks from the fishermen - ha ha.

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted November 7, 2016 Supporting Member Share Posted November 7, 2016 Had to call it a season. For New England, we had a helluva nice fall. I believe I ran the latest-on-the-calendar -35 of my life, on Nov. 2. (Did so using a variety of experimental tech, too, which is kinda cool.) But now daylight savings hits, and combines with even colder, even windier, and fewer leaves to block said wind. So we pulled the courses on Saturday. Time for my month off and then back to the gym in December! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Razorskier1 Posted November 9, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 9, 2016 Well, skied yesterday. Two 28s, two 32s, one 35. Felt great! Second 35 my left knee went "pop" as I was exiting the 4 ball. No unusual load, turn, or anything. Now, this knee has been on and off trouble for a few years, and according to a recent MRI (6 weeks ago) has every manor of issue including full thickness cartilage loss, multiple meniscus tears, and arthritis in both the quad and patellar tendons. In fact, I had it shot with cortisone last Thursday. That being said, it felt like yesterday the medial meniscus tore pretty big. Saw a doctor who stated that I might not have torn anything, but this may just be what I am going to live with -- i.e., the knee is kinda shot and sometimes it's going to hurt. I'm going to consult with another doctor (a surgeon) tomorrow to get another opinion. In any case, despite continuing warm weather here in the midwest, that pretty much wrapped up my ski season. Dang it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Fast351 Posted November 10, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 10, 2016 Glad I'm not the only skier in MN still skiing. Was out last night right at sundown. Boat had the temp at 51 in the water. It's definitely getting to the "extremely refreshing" point with a wetsuit. I will probably switch to a drysuit next week and ski until I have to dodge icecubes. I'm kinda crazy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted November 11, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 11, 2016 @Than_Bogan I'd sure love to know what "experimental tech" you're working on.

Baller Skoot1123 Posted November 14, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 14, 2016 Last set was on Saturday. Water 50F and air 48F. Two 22's and four 28's at 32mph. Finished the season later than I ever have, so pretty happy with that. No injuries either so it was a good season! A sad day, but really looking forward to next season!

Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted November 15, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 15, 2016 Winterized the boat today after an incredibly warm first half of November here in NorCal.

Baller bishop8950 Posted November 15, 2016 Baller Share Posted November 15, 2016 Air near 80 and water near 70 this past weekend in NorCal. Even the kidos wanted to be in the lake. It's going to change soon but we will take it for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
