Baller_ Wish Posted June 17, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted June 17, 2022 More pictures if ya gotm! Is this lake development in conjunction with the city of El Jebel? Looks amazing with everything needed just across the street. Looks like the city is helping with trails and parking lot?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cnewbert Posted June 17, 2022 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2022 Shoot, I used to live on Sopris Mountain Ranch. Sure wish this was there then! I could have started water skiing years earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted June 17, 2022 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2022 I was in that area last summer. God's country! It would be awesome to go back and be able to book ski sets followed by soaking in the mineral waters at Glenwood Hot Springs and finish the day with an IPA at the Glenwood Brewery. That would be a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BKistler Posted June 17, 2022 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2022 So now you can get a slalom set in the morning, bash bumps after lunch and try your luck at fly fishing on the Frying Pan before sundown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Drago Posted June 17, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted June 17, 2022 The lake has been there for 30 years, but was a members-only site with 2 hour time slots. We are adding the pay-per-set this year. The lake owner is developing the land around the lake (restaurants , teacher housing, apartments, assisted living ...). Across the highway is a Whole Foods, Starbucks, couple of breweries, burger joint,Element Hotel, bike shop, etc, etc The Valley is, well, Aspen: movie stars, real estate, night life, watches. It's really the Roaring Fork Valley: "world class fishing", 5 ski resorts, hot springs, mtn biking, river rafting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cnewbert Posted June 17, 2022 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2022 @BKistler it sure is! This was the view from my bedroom window. Not another building between our house and the 2,286,000 acre White River National Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Drago Posted July 7, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted July 7, 2022 '08, our backup boat. Still a nice pull. The ProStar will return in a day or 2, had an e-throttle glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MarcusBrown Posted July 7, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted July 7, 2022 @drago thanks for the pull! Been coming to Kodiak for 20 years and I'm stoked to see you help bring new life to the lake! And that's the World Record boat.... Chris "The Pickle Tower" Parrish ran 1.5 at 43 behind that boat in 2009! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Drago Posted August 4, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted August 4, 2022 Had a tournament last Saturday with our great tournament friends. Some top scores from Fletcher Holm (ASU), 3 1/2 @ 38; Dan (Fave)LaFave, 2@39; and Luisa Jaramillo (ASU), 3@38 (even though I was driving and I’m "late and out of sync with the skier" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller KcSwerver Posted August 4, 2022 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2022 @Drago Leigh is that you? It’s Bryan from two Mondays back. It was a pleasure being at Kodiak, your site is incredible in skiability, scenery, proximity to businesses, and the cherry on top with especially great people on the water. Trying to get another couple of sets in this Summer while I’m back playing bass at the Aspen Music Festival. This is my third season playing here and the first year that you all have offered public sets. I’m so thankful that the owner of the lake has done this for the community. Now I can say (as a waterskier and waterskier only) that I have skied Aspen! Never thought it’d be possible! Next stop, Miami to play with the New World Symphony… For those interested, kodiak put me back on the course for the first time after 8 years. I went ahead and stayed at 32mph (felt so fast behind a big new boat with ZO… used to 96ps190) and managed to make a handful of passes at -15 and actually felt good enough to shorten to -22! What a rush! thanks Leigh! (hat tip to ski mom @sunperch If she’s still on here & all those at MOKAN who gave me the bug!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller sunperch Posted August 8, 2022 Baller Share Posted August 8, 2022 @KcSwerver Bryan, happy to hear that your music career is successful!!! I'm glad you are still finding joy in water skiing!! Tell your Mom we said hello! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Drago Posted August 8, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted August 8, 2022 @KcSwerver -- It is I, @Drago. Great having you. Thank you for the compliments, we are psyched to spread the stoke. see you next summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
