Baller Cnewbert Posted January 1 Baller Share Posted January 1 As soon as the early morning fog lifted we hit the water to start the new year off right. 43° air temp, but with our DryRobes we were warm as toast.

Baller Mastercrafter Posted January 1 Baller Share Posted January 1 14 hours into the New Year and I can check January off the “skied in Michigan” calendar. Friggin miserable. 31 degree air, high-30s water. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we threw out the 100 degree rule. We are going to check February off the list if possible this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Cnewbert Posted January 1 Baller Share Posted January 1 For reasons that are obvious, I am a bit reluctant to post any video of me skiing on this New Year’s Day morning to this advanced group. But what the hell, I’m not proud. I’ll turn 75 in a matter of weeks. I only started skiing at 68 plus I had a knee joint replacement 9 months ago, so I have no shortage of excuses! 😂 What great conditions we enjoyed to welcome the new year!

Baller_ MISkier Posted January 1 Baller_ Share Posted January 1 @Mastercrafter, if conditions on your lake don’t allow February, the channel at Lobdell frequently has open water in that month. Good deal on getting December and January checked off. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jeblanc Posted January 1 Baller Share Posted January 1 First time ever skiing in the winter. Lake temp was was 46 degrees. Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller o2bnMaine Posted January 1 Baller Share Posted January 1 No slalom for me today. Each morning, we start the day with a sunrise barefoot session. 47-degree air this morning. The water was 63 degrees. We'll usually do a slalom set later in the day when the sun's glare disappears. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted January 1 Baller Share Posted January 1 @o2bnMaine - what is pulling you? Looks like a vintage CC based on the bow profile, or maybe even an old Century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT has my blocks ready to go. The state has been asking for some absurd information that I cannot provide. Things like benthic surveys, type of fill used, water quality mitigation,... It's maddening.

Baller o2bnMaine Posted January 5 Baller Share Posted January 5 It sounds like you got the wrong agent. I had a very easy go a few years back. The guy was very reasonable with his questions and very helpful in guiding me through the process. Hopefully, it all ends well. If not, you are welcome to use our course whenever you like! The ramp is close, and, of course, you can ski with us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
