Baller aupatking Posted February 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted February 27, 2018 We ski all year, but to be fair actual “ski season”, where we can ski every day comfortably, is usually March. That said, I don’t ski in a wetsuit, just a heater top, year round. January and February are usually a 2 or 3 set only month. Not this year, our lake is already 75 degrees. I’ve been skiing about every other day this month, and any back-to-back days I can find a driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller moski Posted February 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2018 @GregHind — nice picture. Where is that? Nice boats. Especially the TXI. This will be my first summer with my 2015 TXI (sold prostar 205, great boat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gsm_peter Posted February 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2018 In Stockholm we start normally 2 weeks after the ice is gone to avoid the engine to freeze. Guess that wll be late April this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhofert Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Ice is pretty much out as of this week! We are thinking of heading out with the fishing boat this weekend and seeing if that will pull me enough to get some skiing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted March 3, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted March 3, 2018 @biship8950, a couple of the guys, including MJ, were free skiing on nearby Lobdell Lake. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were in the upper 50s to low 60s. Nobody has hit Tivoli yet. I haven't been able to make my work schedule align with anyone else's availability. We've got a little downturn in weather this week. We shouldn't refreeze (maybe an overnight glaze), though. It has been difficult for me, knowing that it's possible. Going to have to be patient a little longer. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bishop8950 Posted March 3, 2018 Baller Share Posted March 3, 2018 I remember waiting for that ice to melt. I also remember very few rides before April 1st in MI. I will be in MI in June and hope to see some of you guys then after the ice is long gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted March 5, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted March 5, 2018 Buy a drysuit, @DaveD. You’re missing a couple months of ski season each year. Use the early start for conditioning so that you are peaking when the really warm weather starts. Peaking in mid-September is suboptimal. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller gt2003 Posted March 5, 2018 Baller Share Posted March 5, 2018 Back in the water this past Saturday. 15 pounds lighter, changed to adjustable fin on my HO TX and first time ever in a drysuit. Wasn't sure what to expect but skied better than last year. Looking forward to a good year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted April 5, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted April 5, 2018 I think I am going to have to change my answer. While some of my ski buddies did get skiing in February and March, our weather has turned for the worse and winter is hanging on. I don’t see myself getting on the water before mid to late April. And, even that is a maybe. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 2Valve Posted April 5, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 5, 2018 as soon as I get to Ft. Myers in a couple weeks, I'm picking up the Mustang GT at the airport and driving straight to Ski Eden.

Baller epnault Posted April 6, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 6, 2018 @Wish - Is that Marcus Brown? Are people doing this sort of thing a lot? Back on topic. I was at the cabin/lake (60 minutes from Minneapolis) last night and plowed 10" of snow from this week. We have had zero warm spells all winter long and my lake glassed over the first week of November. We will be fortunate to get out in early May. Last year was April 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Sivota Posted April 7, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 7, 2018 Today. Synergy of two brands looks good - if you like matching colours! More attractive than my skiing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DaveD Posted April 12, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 12, 2018 Enjoy that free skiing @MISkier, it's going to be back in the 30's and snowing on Monday.

Baller Chef23 Posted April 13, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 13, 2018 I would guess that someone will be out on our lake soon. I am working on a new PT on my back and seem to be making a little progress. Hopefully sometime in May for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller braindamage Posted April 14, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 14, 2018 I’m dropping my boat off for some work tomorrow morning. It’s supposed to be 33deg and rain. Definition of “miserable”. I’m hoping to be on the water before end of April, because come April 28 I go on a 5 week work travel jag. Irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brettmainer Posted April 14, 2018 Members Share Posted April 14, 2018 Today. It was apparent I need to lose 10lbs and get stronger if I am going to beat @Horton this year. I will have to decide if that is worth cutting back on the beer and getting up at 4:15 to go to xfit a few days a week. Oh, and my spray leg really hurt. But it was still a lot of fun.
