Baller cougfan Posted March 5, 2021 Baller Share Posted March 5, 2021 3/4 of the Wednesday night crew (no Ken) made our March debut yesterday. We free skied lake Goodwin with special guest Dr Stacey. Air temp mid 40’s water temp low 40’s. Water conditions varied throughout the afternoon with it being flat enough for Doug to do some long line footin to some mild chop. All in all another great day on the water skiing with friends! Went to @Rednucleus house afterwards for drinks, appetizers and dinner. Thanks Loni for the lasagna and ice cream pie. Next week another new lake adventure stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Fastguy888 Posted March 5, 2021 Baller Share Posted March 5, 2021 Technically it was Feb 28th. Great day skiing Hidden Anchorage Mission Bay with San Diego Water Ski Club. Enjoy watching Robin Harwood ski while I fly the drone. Hope to get a SkyDio 2 fully autonomous drone soon that can chase myself while I ski.

Baller adkh2oskier Posted March 6, 2021 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2021 @skibrain Ditto. @tjs1295 not sure where you are but where I am now it's 11 degrees with a forecast high of 16. But 50 by mid week. Tons of snow so the skiing is still good and will be for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller tjs1295 Posted March 6, 2021 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2021 @adkh2oskier I’m in northern Wisconsin. Been skiing mostly around Eagle River. Run over to Ironwood, MI every now and then. Still plenty of snow, but not always groomed the best after the thaw/freeze cycles we’ve been having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Rednucleus Posted March 6, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted March 6, 2021 Windy & cold at HT this morning. Couldn't make it past 4 ball - but better than sitting on the couch! @RichardDoane the new passenger seat is very nice, but where did you hide the seat heater button?

Baller cougfan Posted March 7, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted March 7, 2021 @Rednucleus maybe you should visit a motorcycle dealer and invest in some of the heated gear they sell so you can make it through the winter ski season???

Drove to Poland Maine to help a buddy drop blocks through the ice yesterday for a course. 20 bar on chainsaw, and wasn't long enough in many places. I parked my Ram 2500 on the lake.

Baller cougfan Posted March 11, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted March 11, 2021 3/4 of the Wednesday night crew (no @Rednucleus ☹️) skied lake Stevens today in the brilliant sunshine. Water low 40’s air low 50’s. Perfect day to be out on the lake! All skied and Doug did some long line footin and some footin off the boom. Only boat on the lake and the view of Mt Pilchuck was pretty cool except most of the time there were some clouds in the way the only clouds in the sky the rest was clear and blue! Next we will be skiing lake Washington stay tuned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted March 11, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted March 11, 2021 @B_S, is your lake level down? I didn't think many lakes in Michigan had that problem. It seems like high water most places (other than Wixom Lake and Sanford Lake). The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller gschorr Posted March 14, 2021 Baller Share Posted March 14, 2021 Yep, the new fin settings were definitely not working for me--except in the flight category! pushing the ski hard at the tail of the turn didn't help either.

Baller cougfan Posted March 18, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted March 18, 2021 Yesterday 3/4 of the Wednesday night crew (no @Rednucleus he was busy doing vet things ☹️) skied lake Washington. We started on the north end in Kenmore and skied to the south end Renton passing under 2 bridges along the way ( the 520 and I-90) the water conditions were great with smooth water all the way down and most of the way back. The scenery and views were spectacular! We saw Mt Baker to the north the Cascade range to the east Mt Ranier to the south and the Olympic range to the west. We did take a couple of detours to do some sight seeing along the way. We boated into a canal lined with houses with boats tied up in front and went through the Mountlake canal arriving in lake Union. Couldn’t ski this lake as the whole lake was a “no wake zone”☹️ Made it all the way to the Ballard locks that get you into the Puget Sound before turning around. Went through the industrial port area of lake Union with all its fishing and crabbing boats and tugs tied up. Quite the sight seeing trip to go along with a great day of free skiing with 2 of my 3 best friends. Another epic adventure for the Wednesday night crew! We will be skiing a different lake next week.
