Bucket list item completed

[Keith_Menard]

I have been wanting to snowboard and waterski in the same day. This weekend we did it! Conditions kind of sucked for both, but good friends makes it all awesome!

 

 

 

 

Looks like it was my last day snowboarding and first day of the waterski season...and MAN was I sore :)

[LoopSki]

My buddy is working on a Surf, WaterSki, Snowski in same day. Starting out surf in Pacifica, Waterski in Sacramento, snow ski Squaw Valley. Crazy thing it will be in May and conditions will likely be good on all three!

Ski and ski/board is always an option in Colorado. ABasin should stay open until July this year. If somebody has this on their bucket list, let me know. I'm on a lake south of Denver and always happy to give somebody a pull.

Gongrats on the achievement.

I have done it a few times in Vermont, always a memorable day.

Did it in California in 1972 at Lake Arrowhead, and Snow Skied up at Big Bear !!!

 

It was a yearly thing with our Fighter Squadron....Man did we party at Big Bear..... That's what I remember most !!!

Living the dream! Cool

Will be doing this maybe next month. Hit up Killington, VT in the morning and drive home to hit the pond in CT in afternoon. Been on the bucket list for a while.

How was the water? I am thinking about getting my boat out of storage next week.

Is that Wachusett MT?

[aspski]

Congrats! I was lucky enough to do this a few years ago as well. Skied Silver Start in Vernon BC and then got a few slalom sets in at the end of the day on Okanagan Lake.

Excellent stuff! Picture is from March '98. It was 80 degrees this day!

Thanks @"Keith Menard" I think I will wait one more week. Weekend wont be nice anyways.

I got to surf, all though what I did may not be called surfing by a true surfer and snow ski in one day. Surfing early am and over to Mt. Hood for a ski that afternoon. The surfing was cold and ugly but I made up for that at the mountain!

[OldGuysRule]

Reminds me of my "Bucket List" accomplishment in 2012. Water skied in the morning and snow skied in the afternoon in Southern Indiana on my birthday. I still brag occasionally!

I have a friend here in Las Vegas that went skydiving, scuba diving,wake boarding and Snowboarding all on his 40th birthday.

Shooting for this also, probably pull it off this May or Even June as Squaw Valley will be open until July 7th this year. Maybe even throw in a mountian bike ride. Probably start with the snow before the slopes become more like waterskiing.

@"Keith Menard" - We didn't measure it, but I think the water temperature was probably in the high 40's (F, not C :smile: ). In my opinion, at those values, coupled with good air temperature, it all boils down to the ratio of time above the water versus time in the water. With free skiing that ratio is by far above 1, whereas with running passes through a slalom course that ratio is close to 0. When I sit there in the water with almost no movement, that's when the cold gets to me. Having said that, I wish I could have joined you for the other 2 acts before the waterskiing act. It was a great day!

@HighAltitude - very tempting, my epic pass would still be good and this is the last season A-Basin is included...
