Members mmskiboat Posted October 6, 2019 Members Share Posted October 6, 2019 Not sure if these exist or not. We are new to skiing, just got our first ski boat and in a few years might want to head south in the winter (we live in canada) and bring our boat down to spend time on a ski lake. Are they places that rent houses, or slips on the lake and houses near? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lhoover Posted October 6, 2019 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2019 I'm sure Florida and parts of S California are good places for the Winter, but so is S Texas. We ski year round in Houston and have had several snow birds through the years join us for a few months. We have covered boat storage and lots of rental property nearby. Drop me an email if interested. khoover at wt.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller NikolG Posted October 6, 2019 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2019 Contact Dave Buchli in Arizona. Awesome site and year-round skiing. You could park an RV there? 602-920-9831 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jhughes Posted October 6, 2019 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2019 Folks rent near Okeheelee and get a sticker for their boat during the winter, happens pretty often I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmskiboat Posted October 6, 2019 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2019 Thanks guys, I imagine we are about 2 years away as we would setup our place here as a rental if we did more than a month visit. I think it would be a great way to get better at skiing, meet some like minded people and still be able to use the boat rather than have it sleeping in some cold dark place. Arizona could be smart as we are also into triathlons so could add in some training, much more fun being outdoors rather than in a basement on a trainer, treadmill.

Baller Clydesdale Posted October 7, 2019 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2019 Not sure how this would work for you financially, but maybe consider not bringing the boat and stay at or near a ski school in FL. We’ve been going to Swiss for a number of years and the knowledge gained on the dock interacting with other skiers is incredibly valuable. We’ve made pit stops at other ski schools and never had a bad experience, but I can’t say enough about the stadlbaur’s and their top notch operation.....

Members mmskiboat Posted October 7, 2019 Author Members Share Posted October 7, 2019 @Clydesdale yes the idea would be to attend a ski school of some sort 100% but just might not be for the whole time. Reason for bringing the boat is we have to pay for storage up here anyways so could actually use it. Having said that might do a test run with a short trip to a ski school to scope an area and see what options are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted October 7, 2019 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2019 @mmskiboat Ski Paradise in Mulberry, Fla., has winter-only memberships. I believe you can either keep your boat in a lift or parked under a cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted October 7, 2019 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2019 You can rent your own private ski lake, if you don’t mind a couple of us skiing with you. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/7922569?s=51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
