Minimum lake length for slalom

[aupatking]

I was looking on the map for a lake today and stumbled upon 2 ski lakes, but they are extremely short. The longer of the 2 being only 1,590 feet long. It has turn islands, but appears that you would be entering the 55’s as soon as the boat got around the island. Would you even consider this a viable ski lake?

It may work if you placed an 8 buoy course. Ideally you would want 2000’ or more.

There's a video somewhere on BOS of a ski set on a very short lake and set up .

@Horton knows wich one...

Think it's either scoke or another BOS member skiing...

Agree on the 8 bouys course on 1600'.

@Andre I believe its quick set you're thinking of:

I’ve heard a bunch about quick set. I think the ends curve so the boats can get up speed

[Lars]

True but even with the end curve its about 1500 ft: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.616677,-89.9079086,530m/data=!3m1!1e3

@Lars Yep,that's the one ! That's a quick set up!

Sometimes ya gotta do what you gotta do to get your fix

Never a dull moment at Quickset!

Occasionally a horse or extra large dog in the course! It measures 1256’ dirt to dirt down the middle of the course!

I have no idea what this lake is used for , its like a mini ski lake. Can’t remember diminsions but its short and narrow. Not far from me. Spotted it flying over along time ago.
