Baller Booze Posted August 14, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2017 Yesterday, while driving back from Nats, I spotted a small lake with a course. It was adjacent to I-12 in Slidell LA. I'm just curious who skis there, or what's the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller teammalibu Posted August 14, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think that is where Margaret Ann Woddard skis! South LA. Ballers will know better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MillerTime38 Posted August 14, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2017 @Booze I saw it as well. Cool floating dock set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted August 14, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2017 10 minutes before that on the opposite side of I12 was one of the best places to ski in the country, IE Ski Scape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dbutcher Posted August 14, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2017 I skied at that Slidell lake from 1982 through 1987 and never saw a gator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted August 14, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2017 I drove by that lake a few times and never saw anyone skiing. There was a sign looking for skiers with a phone number - I assume put up by hungry gators that arrived after 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Sethro Posted August 15, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2017 I skied there once. Drove 12 hours to get there through the night. Skied for about an hour. Then drove 12 hours home. I've never been so tired in my life as I was about 2 hours from home. Brought back a beautiful 85 Stars and Stripes, however, so it was worth it.

Jmoon Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I just started skiing there a few weeks ago and am beginning to be a regular. Great group of people that have been super acomodating and love to teach. I live in baton rouge and make the hour drive. Definitely worth it.

Baller aupatking Posted August 19, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 19, 2017 I've always wanted to ski there, and would have stayed out of this thread but @ktm300 Lucinda Williams? The singer? Is she a skier? Also, my main ski partner is in and out of that area all the time and keeps talking about wanting to find out who skis there.

Baller ktm300 Posted August 19, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 19, 2017 @aupatking My post was the most irrelevant and obscure post in BOS history. However, Lucinda has a song called "Joy" that mentions Slidell. She is from LA. I'm gonna go to slidell and look for my joy Go to slidell and look for my joy Maybe in slidell I'll find my joy Maybe in slidell I'll find my joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msuws Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I just moved to Slidell for work and am looking to get back on the water. Does anyone have a contact for this site? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Zman Posted August 19, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 19, 2018 @Booze Slidell seems like quite a round about way back to Tuscaloosa area from Maize? Good skiing at Nats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Booze Posted August 20, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 20, 2018 @zman - That was last year. The GF and I took the long way home, stopping in Houston and Galveston. Thanks again for the beer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted August 20, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted August 20, 2018 @Zman is always handing out beers. I like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Zman Posted August 20, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 20, 2018 @Booze You're welcome. I just wish instead of 6th, you had a runoff for 5th. You might have to consider changing your pre-ski routine from an apple to a Goose Island IPA. @MS The theory is, if I give some away, I drink less. Theory.
