Slalom courses in Central Massachusetts

[pregom]

I got the slalom bug last year and usually ski at Webster lake, a busy public lake. Even super early in the morning, it's difficult to find adequate water conditions, especially on weekends when I normally have time to ski. I often find yahoos who decide to cut through the course right when we are approaching the gate! So, I'd like to explore what other lakes in central Massachusetts have a slalom course, say within a 45 minutes radius from Webster? Feel free to PM me if you prefer. Thank you!

The Goodhue family has a private site in Oakham.

There is a course in Marlboro, Charlton, Natick on public lakes Oakham, an Thompsom CT have private courses. There is a course for sale in NH if you want to put in use take out everytime. That's how I plan to do it.

@pregom this is Rui. I understand you were travelling out of the country after we met at Oakham this summer and we never connected. Nothing has changed here since we talked... we can try to re-connect given the same uncertainties that our public site presents. I recall we were trying for a weekday morning set at some point. Text me if you still have my #, or PM. Hope you are well.

Public lakes need a ski club so some people can anchor outside the course and discourage fly by

@harddock Where is the course in Thompson?

^^^^ This??

@BraceMaker we do have the Nipmuc Ski Club over there. I understand it hosted a national tournament back in the days. There are not enough of us interested in slaloming to have "border guards" while we ski. Our membership is growing, so, who know, maybe we'll be able to do what you suggest.

@rfa yes, I wanted to go to Oakham in July and then, life happened. I'll get in touch with you. Thanks.
