Baller ToddA Posted March 18, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 18, 2020 Seems that I will have to ski less just due to the sheer volume of crap we have to deal with for our Small Business and the financial impacts that have come because of all of this.

Baller keithh2oskier Posted March 19, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 19, 2020 They have announced shelter in place for the county I live in and the county our lake is. I think its feasible to keep 6' of separation from a ski buddy. It's just convincing a police officer if I get pulled over with my boat. I am of the opinion that skiing with 2 other people is healthier than standing in line at the grocery store or encountering others on the hiking trail.

Baller cruznski Posted March 19, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 19, 2020 The site I ski is a rarity, it is the only slalom course in the South Bay area. It is aligned with Santa Clara County Parks and will be closed while the Shelter In Place order is in effect. So I wll ski less and it may be a while til alternatives are figured out.

Baller DSP Posted March 23, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2020 I’m ready and booked for a week at Swiss. But not sure it’s wise to deal with airports & rental cars. It’s tough to trust anything from media sources after years of inaccurate agenda driven hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Laz Posted March 23, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2020 I have already cancelled two trips to Florida. So I will ski less. I hope it gets warm soon so we can make up for lost time. In the meantime, I work in a hospital and this virus has to be taken very seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Timber Posted March 23, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2020 Honestly guys look at the situation progress of the last 2 months in Italy and this is what will happen in the US. Not to be pessimistic with you, but your government autorities minimize your situation and everyone thinks they can continue their favorite little activities without impact. It's not just a matter of respecting 5-6 feet apart from others... On our side of the border we're afraid for what's going to happen to you. Currently Quebec government is very proactive with the situation. It's very difficult for us but I think it will pay off shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted March 23, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2020 @Timber I ski on a public lake with US Forest Service boat launches. The launches closed as of 5pm yesterday. Unsure when they will reopen. So as for the original question on this thread, I will be skiing far less due to COVID-19. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted March 23, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted March 23, 2020 If your from another country and have not seen the US daily you should not comment. Everywhere I go (trips to dollar general to see if they have any ass wipe)is a ghost town. Airports are empty, rent a car lots are full. Things are shut down and people are staying at home. Don’t let the week old news clips and worthless media con you into thinking that we are all a bunch of snobs. The USA is more then some beaches and down town NYC or LA. There actually is a very large amount of people doing absolutely nothing. We have 500 gallons of gas and I plan to ski until it’s gone. I don’t think the ski, boat lift knob or boat will spread the bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster88 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Likely ski more. Gas is cheaper, more time at home and will need the distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BraceMaker Posted March 24, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2020 Had planned to go pull my boat out of storage tomorrow but we're on lock-down as well.

Baller_ lpskier Posted March 26, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted March 26, 2020 I said it wouldn’t effect me, but it has. It being March, our ski club has been busy with out of town members and guests. Having been very sick once (cancer), I have little interest in going through that again. Accordingly, I haven’t skied at our club in 10 days. FYI the City of Orlando and Orange County have issued stay at home orders effective today. I took advantage of the situation and tried some stem cells in my ankle yesterday. Now I have to take time off the water and other activity, but because that is the case maybe I’ll avoid COVID 19 by doing a better job of staying home.

Baller Zman Posted March 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 26, 2020 Like many, also impacted a little more than expected. But, still skiing a fair bit with just one ski partner. I guess biggest risk is filling the gas cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted March 26, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted March 26, 2020 This is where I’m a million times blessed with a wife that can drive the crap out of this lake and a daughter that is willing to start skiing again.

Baller S1Pitts Posted March 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 27, 2020 Our first responders are now only attending house fires and vehicle accidents. ER rooms are basically closed turning everyone away unless you are showing symptoms of covid 19. Doctor offices are shut down, dentists are shut down, my daughter is a RMT and her husband is a acupuncturist and their clinic was ordered shut down. I have to weigh the risks of skiing. These are becoming very strange times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller glasslake Posted March 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 27, 2020 Well, considering that my cottage, boat, course, gear, and ski buddies are all across the border in Canada, it's anybody's guess how much I'll be skiing this summer.

Baller glasslake Posted March 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 27, 2020 @jpattigr I'm in! That made my day. Probably a bit of a trek for both of us (2300 miles for me). We're in Great Valley, NY, and the cottage, et al, are in Combermere, ON. Gotta say, though, that this has to be reason 3564 why I love waterskiers!

( I don’t live on a Private lake). For the past 2 wks the the Skiing was great! My girls are home from college/HS and weather was great. Dang it!

Baller dvskier Posted March 31, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2020 @H20ski17 The release read that if you had a dock on a public lake you could still go boating. The governor didn’t wasn’t people congregating on sandbars, islands, etc. launches will definitely be closed. I was very concerned when the news came out but it won’t affect me as I live on a Duke Power lake. Our launches will likely be closed though.

Baller H2Oski17 Posted March 31, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2020 @dvskier Yep...shouldn’t affect you. As I said, all public access is closed in SC and I, like many people, simply do not have the means/privilege of waterfront living. Private owners can still use the beaches, waterways, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bax Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Our season doesn't a start until May, and hoping our club will be able to run. But hubby and me were supposed to do a road trip through the US (we are Canadian) this April with a lot of ski stops...and that's not happening, so that will mean less sets overall this season.
