Ski Lake for Practice

[SkibumOSU]

Hi,

 

I'm going to be living in Groton, CT, from May through December. I'm looking for ski lakes to practice at in Connecticut and neighboring states, especially lakes with access to a ramp. Please let me know if you know of a lake in this area that has open membership slots.

 

Thanks!

@SkibumOSU I don't know if they are taking new members, but you look to be about 75 minutes from Old Farms Skiers in Avon, Ct. They have a fantastic site and have developed numerous national- and world-level jumpers, including Alex Lauretano, Dana Hinman, Quinn and Hutch Haines, and Danny Zeisler. Great site, even better people. They also have 3+ tournaments a year for you to hit.

Thanks @jcamp! I'll definitely try to get in touch with them.

Best as I know,the only jump site in CT. They even have Splasheye set up there. They

have had at least one Regionals. 6-buoy Slalom with tight approaches. Next closest

jump site is in Oakham, MA, where they have about 2 tournaments a year.

@SkibumOSU the Nipmuc Waterski Club in Webster MA has a ramp and a few active jumpers. It's a fairly straight shot from Groton heading north on I-395. Also a couple nice slalom sites with public ramps in eastern CT. Send me a PM anytime.

Nipmuc put on the 1964 Nationals. See photo. Nice to hear they are still operating.
