Baller jimbrake Posted April 28, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hey ya'll. I'm going to be in Nacogdoches, TX from 5/4 through 5/11 and wondering if I might be able to buy a set within 150 miles of Nac. Shreveport lakes are closest, but I could potentially run up towards Dallas or back towards Houston, if that were my only option. Would prefer not to have to drive across either of those metro areas in their entireties. Surprising there are no ski sites anywhere in East Texas (that I'm aware of). If there are and a ride is possible, please let me know! Thank you in advance for any offers. I could certainly return the favor in Sacramento, CA.

Baller teammalibu Posted April 28, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2021 @bigtex2011 might be the closest at Thornridge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller teammalibu Posted April 28, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2021 Or @jayski at Cottonwood if he can get away from the Polar Bears in Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted April 28, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2021 There is a guy in Nac that had his own lake. Used to see him at tournaments every now and then , but haven't seen him in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted April 28, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'm north of Dallas and google maps shows 3 1/2 hrs from Nacagdoches. Good news is you won't get anywhere near Dallas traffic. There is Triple J just south of Dallas on I45, but I have lost track if it is still active. Probably 2 1/2 hrs. Also Pecan Cove in Red Oak just under 3 hrs. Bigtex skis there. You sure picked a place in the middle of nowhere! If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dbutcher Posted April 28, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2021 Check the list of Texas and Louisiana affiliated clubs on USWS' web site. There is a ski site on I-30 in east Texas, but I don't know if it's active. There may be one in Omaha, TX too. I don't know any contacts. There was a very active club in Longview, TX, but it appears it is no longer active. It's not on the list of affiliated clubs. There may be one in Tyler, TX too.

Baller lhoover Posted April 28, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2021 We are in NE Houston at a very nice site, 120 miles from Nac. Won't have to cross any big city traffic as it's a straight shot on I69. Be in touch if you run out of closer options. khoover at wt.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
