Kimbymon

The 4th Annual Kim’s Water Ski Classic was a smashing success.  We had 19 skiers take part. Conditions were fantastic and we all had a fabulous time.

I want to thank my friends for helping me pull this off. I couldn’t have done it without you. @Mastercrafter thank you for the use of your ProStar. @MISkier thank you for driving. And for driving me to my best pass of the season so far. @DaveD for your donation of raffle items. @Sedge for the SLines Ropes, handle and KD junior combo skis that we raffled off. @PSM for the donation of ProGear Gloves and PureFood protein powder. @Horton for running my ads for this event year after year.

I hope I have not forgotten anyone . Attached are a few of the pics that were taken. I will have more once I get those back from my photographer .

Since Horton is fond of bumping old threads, I submit my entry.  Kyle is still skiing and (I believe) is now a doctor.

Yes, he is still skiing, and he is a Radiologist.

As a woman in the "crap I'm getting old segment", I can attest to the fact that the slow speeds behind the Malibu are painful.  Having skiing too many times to count at 24.9 mph that wake is large, even larger when there is more than 1 person in the boat.  The wake is more tolerable at 26.7, better at 28.6 and getting very nice at 30.2.  The Mastercraft on the other hand was more tolerable at those slow speeds and the bump over the wakes was smaller than the Malibu was.

Blue on one side, with silver and blue fleck on the other to coordinate with my 2020 vapor and the light blue vest I just purchased. 🙂

@Kimbymon - do you annoy your brother with a plethora of movie quotes 😂🤣

Lol.  He does that all on his own. However of note is that anytime you mentioned the movie at TopGun (which is in Fallon NV) you were fined $25..  He threatened to disown me if I didn’t see the new TopGun Maverick..🤷‍♀️

30 feet in Tahoe, and no end to the out of town pass holders

I skied Tahoe years ago with my brother when he was still at TopGun as an instructor.  Tahoe was a lot of fun.

I'm glad I didn't invest in an Ikon or Epic pass this year, I would not have gotten my money's worth, at all.  Come on Spring!

@Minelickskier I’m a single mom with a severe case of OBCD (obsessive buoy count disorder). ?

Come on, big money , no whammies! I need that vapor. ?

@Sedge when will your handles be available for purchase? Thanks

@VONMAN , early in the season @Mastercrafter and I agreed that it was a good thing our club didn't charge by the set, we would be priced out. I don't know my total sets but it for sure exceeds @Mastercrafter 's . :#

My work productivity seems to be suffering today. ?

@MISkier LOL..
