Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted September 9, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted September 9, 2018 This may be the first of several inquiries along these lines! My daughter is a senior in high school and would like to continue some water skiing while in college. She's a slalom beginner, but she can do the half course and suddenly has gotten very into it in the last couple of seasons. She's considering the University of Richmond. Anybody know how/where one might ski around there? I see that Corey is about an hour away in Bumpass. There also was/is a Richmond Water Ski Club, which surprisingly is only slightly closer. Do they still exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted September 9, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yes, we “RWSC” are active and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted September 10, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 10, 2018 And yes, we are the closest to UR. The James river is good for skiing but there are no clubs or courses left on the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted September 10, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 10, 2018 I am sure you know your two neighbors are at Richmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted September 10, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 10, 2018 Can she drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted September 10, 2018 Author Supporting Member Share Posted September 10, 2018 Not really, but I do hope she'll be a shortline driver before she actually heads off to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted September 10, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 10, 2018 I have spent a fair amount of time at Corey’s place. I can’t say enough good things about the people, coaching and the atmosphere. It’s a chill place to hangout in between sets. Also, both lakes, the one at Corey’s and RWSC, ski great with plenty of set up room at both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller santangelo Posted September 10, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 10, 2018 In addition to RWSC and Peace, Love, and Waterskiing, Sparta, Virginia is also less than an hour north of Richmond. There are 4 private ski lakes within about 5 miles of each other and is where most tournaments are held. Great people up there and I'm sure would be willing to take guests. Here are two of them: TimberLake Lake Holly Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted September 10, 2018 Author Supporting Member Share Posted September 10, 2018 Thanks! I've actually skied at both Holly and Timber and those are indeed sweeet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmorgan Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hi all, new to the Richmond area and curious if RWSC is still up, running, and skiing at Loch Cochrane. Willing to drive to a few of the places referenced here, but seeing as Cochrane is 30 min closer than most anything else on this list (and I couldn’t find much else online), I wanted to see what it’s status is. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
