Baller_ RichardDoane Posted June 27, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted June 27, 2020 We did the Curlew thing for quite a few years when the kids were small. Lots of glass every morning and plenty of space to spin the tube. We had a few fishermen in the group and a big fish fry lunch that had the best tartar sauce ever.

Couples Swept Away and Sandals have a Mastercraft and give pulls on the smooth ( sometimes) morning ocean.

Baller hammerski Posted July 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2020 Ski Paradise Acapulco! Amazing made from scratch meals, the villa has some of the most amazing views and sunsets, awesome restaurants, and the ski site is great with lunches on site. Great boat drivers, 6 days of skiing, great coaches, and a great place to work on your skiing! Everything is taken care of, all you need to do is have fun. Weather is 83-88 degrees every day from October to May. A GREAT place to go in the winter. Super safe location in the nicest part of Acapulco. One of the best waterski vacations and a must do at least once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller cougfan Posted July 8, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted July 8, 2020 @hammerski I have heard great things about Ski Paradise Acapulco and it is on my bucket list. Trying to get the rest of the Wednesday night crew to make this trip with me some winter. Next year we are planning a week long house boat trip on lake Roosevelt on the Columbia river in eastern Wa along with our annual week on lake Curlew. So many ski destinations so little time. Can’t wait till I retire so I have more free time. Only 1 1/2 years left ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller cmcoutur Posted July 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2020 What a beautiful spot, I really enjoyed the summer I spent in the PNW. Northern Michigan has always been my family's vacation spot, took this last week around 11am - we got really lucky with weather and boat traffic all week. Prostar ran perfectly too. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Mtea Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 Deep Creek Lake, MD. I’m biased because I’m here all summer and ski almost every day.

Baller aspski Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 Shuswap Lake is my favourite spot (followed closely by Okanagan, Skaha, Kalamalka) Heading out there soon, can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller cougfan Posted July 21, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 @jjackkrash that is the spot I spend a week every August. Water conditions are great all day long and you can free ski for about 50 miles or so between dams. There is even a course set up close to Entiat. We rent a Vrbo on the river just north of the park and some of my kids stay at the park. It is a very nice park with a good boat launch plus the nearest gas is right by the park entrance if you have a Pacific Price card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR1 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 @Mtea Where are you at on DCL? Grandparents used to have a cabin there 20 years ago (from the time the lake was created until about 1997). It was such a cool spot back then. Unfortunately I-68 and almighty dollar bill took a little of it's soul away. It looks like you can still find some good water if you're there during the week. Nice pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ALPJr Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 Looks real nice @Mtea . Always wondered how it looked. Our 92 MC PS came from Deep Creek MD. I found it the classified in the back of Waterskier mag. We met the owner Betty Rouse half way to CT in Allentown PA. Everything checked out ok and I towed it home. Was clean as a whistle, must be good water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
