Are your buoys still in?

Tdub · October 25, 2016

We pulled ours about a week ago. That water gets cold quickly here in Northern Ohio. This old guy hates cold water. Toasted the season with a few beers, played "Boys of Summer" and called it a season. We drove to Perrysburg yesterday and noticed yours was still in @A_B. I'm impressed. Cheers.

still in

BrennanKMN · October 25, 2016

Pulled it on the 16th of October because the next few weekends were booked up. We didn't want to get stuck in snow pulling it or doing it when the sun is down on a weeknight.

Could have easily skied a few more weeks but time wasn't on our side this year so we had to pull the plug.

santangelo · October 25, 2016

Yes, all 130 of them...spoiled.

hiddenskier · October 25, 2016

We've been having amazing weather here in Denver but I'm pulling the course today.

skidawg · October 25, 2016

never come out

A_B · October 25, 2016

@Tdub Don't be. I skied two weekends ago bareback and that was it for the season. I don't put all the gear on any more. Likely will pull a crazy dry suit skier this coming weekend for his last time and yank the buoys. We put new trailer bunks on this past weekend and just ran out of daylight to pull the course.

Just need to mow grass a few more times and move some dirt for a longer shooting range and we will target shoot until snow flys.

If I was tournament skiing, I would say we had another month yet with bags on.

Chicken Run first Saturday after Thanksgiving up at Pelican. I will likely just drive.

LeonL · October 25, 2016

Still in. Planning to ski a bit longer.

Skoot1123 · October 25, 2016

Still in here in central Illinois, but not sure how much longer. I still want to get some more runs in before hanging it up. It would be awesome to ski in November!

TallSkinnyGuy · October 25, 2016

I have to pull my buoys out after every time I use them, but fortunately Ed's EZ Slalom portable course makes that fairly easy.

jimbrake · October 25, 2016

Still in. All year. Of course I don't see them November through March, but they're there. Waiting.

foxriverat · October 25, 2016

Pulled both courses this past sunday in Northern Illinois. @Tdub I think we have a sporting event to watch that should keep our minds off skiing for at least a week.

skihacker · October 25, 2016

Western New York, still have both courses in but the weather the last week pretty bad, really windy and much cooler, hopefully a couple more runs yet, water level pretty low also.

david_quail · October 25, 2016

This is what happens in Canada when you leave the course, dock, lift, etc in just one weekend too long and are stuck removing in these conditions. Boooo , hiss winter ...

Than_Bogan · October 25, 2016

@david_quail B.T.D.T.

We were on a helluva lucky run with weather until just a few days ago when a 30 mph wind started blowing and eventually brought 40F temps behind it (and lows in the 20s).

But I think @MikeT and I have still got a few more sets in us in the next week and half. We'll pull the course the weekend of the time change (11/6). Not much point in having it after that.

santangelo · October 25, 2016

@Mark_Matis 0 confirmed gators, 1 confirmed Nile Lizard.

Jody_Seal · October 25, 2016

84* today here in the North of Florida! the thing that shuts me down is the short daylight hours.

ALPJr · October 25, 2016

Yes. Stay in all year. Easier to find when the ice melts :)

igkya · October 25, 2016

Still in (norther NV). Sometimes we pull them, but this year we may leave them in as they need replaced. Still skiing.

skihard · October 26, 2016

Ours never come out. :)

RichardDoane · October 26, 2016

always in at the Broho, hopefully only frozen in place for a week or two this winter

Fam-man · October 26, 2016

We finally took our out, waters fallen out of 40, days barely getting above freezing, suns up late and down early and the only use was a muscrat chewing holes in the balls.

Feeling jealous of those that ski all year long

thompjs · October 26, 2016

Here in Houston the Canadians ski all winter.

Shakeski · October 26, 2016

Pulled :(

Bdecker · October 26, 2016

We leave ours in- just replace what is broken in the spring - ice never moves them

sixball · October 26, 2016

Pulled boats Sunday, snowing today! I still have lifts and docks to to do. Getting work done on the lake front. Sure wish it was done so I could wrap up.

LeonL · October 27, 2016

Water 64 air 74 today. Gonna keep at it until at least next cold front comes through. What we're getting now is bonus stuff for us. Just hit 100 sets today. The problem we face is when it's warm this time of year, it's due a strong south wind.

skihart · October 27, 2016

Here in eastern Ontario Canada we pulled ours last week. Water was still around 60 but the weather switch was flipped last week. Pulled the boat yesterday and going to do the lift tomorrow. It's been going just below freezing at night and the water temps are plummeting. Fall is tough skiing for us as the wind is a huge challenge so time to pack her in.

The next skiing we do will be in Orlando in a month! Looking forward to it.

PatM · October 27, 2016

Pulled ours last week. The problem we were having was seeing the course, not the weather. Opening pass was fine, next pass I could not see the entrance gates due to the glare this time of year. Lucky to see one ball, went around it and dropped the handle. Done - pulled it. It gets to the point where you are not going to ski well and it is not fun.

Roger · October 27, 2016

@OB1 - Right now, the west course in the Main lake is 6 buoys. It is normally 8 and will be changed back I'm sure. We changed it to 6 for the Big Dawg/Us Open for side by side competition :smile:

aupatking · October 28, 2016

I'll be putting new balls on our river course this weekend. 84 and sunny. They'll be in all year, and I'll be turning them. At least once every month of the year.

rfa · October 28, 2016

I am about half way between @than and @PatM...boats out as of last week...course out tomorrow. I remember when I would ski well into November...must have been much younger then...

bkreis · October 28, 2016

5 courses worth, in and ready!!! south florida is awesome!!!

Texas6 · October 29, 2016

@thompjs +1 on the Canadians skiing all winter in Houston - see it every winter - and rarely ever in a wetsuit. Crazy bastards. Water temp yesterday morn in Houston 73
