    ?Spend 3 intensive days with Wade Cox at Forest Lake in June to kick off your summer and again in August before heading to Regionals and Nationals. Slots are still available for all dates. On-site lodging is available. Check out https://www.forestlakeadventures.com/skiwithwade

     

    TO SKI OR NOT TO SKI, IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION?

    Let Forest Lake help you combine your summer vacation with your passion for water skiing. Forest Lake is a secluded waterski lake very near several of Lake Michigan’s most visited beaches and quaint beach towns. We have partnered with one of the most successful slalom skiers in the sports’ history, Wade Cox, to offer four all-inclusive 4-day events featuring fun, fellowship, food, and of course waterskiing.

     

    Bring your family, buddies, or significant other along to enjoy meals and downtime with you. If they don’t ski they are able to enjoy all of Forest Lake’s included amenities or visit the area’s abundant offerings including wineries and breweries, beaches, splash pads, shops, hiking trails, and spas.

     

    We have developed two retreats to fit your style. Those of you that want to ski until you can’t walk, you are our die-hard skiers. You will enjoy more time on the water and less formal meals. If you’d like a little more downtime, why not swerve and sip? These events have fewer sets with Wade but feature curated wine dinners.

     

    Design your stay. Choose the best on-site lodging for you and your guests. Need space for your family? No problem! Would you like a private cottage? We have you covered! Just need a room? Yep, we have those too!

    Hey all, happy New Year! Just seeing this post, so jumping in. Right now Monday's are open at Forest Lake and we would consider an "open ski" format for anyone interested, or we could do a casual tournament series. To be whole as a site (everything costs something) we need to cover the cost of gas, boat, and driver. With the "laws" of averages and depreciation we need to bring in a minimum of $200 per hour to hit the break even point. We are absolutely open to all ideas on how to format a night for anyone to come and ski - we don't do memberships and want to make the sport accessible to everyone.

     

    We are also piloting a "Maid to Ski" program for college kids wanting "free" water time this summer. @JPwaterski please check it out and share!

    Making 3 events accessible to EVERYONE on a private lake

    in News & Other Stuff

    Posted

    Wow, thank you for all the feedback! At this time we can only adjust prices based on clients also utilizing our lodging. We are working on a strategic partnership to help offset our boats and equipment depreciation costs. With consistent interest we could justify hiring a "college student", or two, but as a new offering we can't justify the cost of an employee. Utilizing lake time is not our "bread and butter", but is our response to expressed interest, so we understand also that these offerings will not appeal to everyone, and that is okay.

     

    All that said we are offering every-other-Sunday afternoon "open or group skis" with the following details.

     

    Slalom Ski or Trick Practice (Group) - 2 sets per person @ $60.00 total

    limit 8 participants. Participants must register in advance.

    MUST BE ABLE TO SKI PRIOR TO PRACTICE.

    1 SET IS 6 PASSES, TRICK OR SLALOM

    MUST SIGN LIABILITY WAIVER

    INCLUDES GAS, BOAT, AND DRIVER

    PARTICIPANT PROVIDES SKI AND VEST

    This is a bit of a shameless plug - but we want to get the word out - everyone can ski (and learn to ski) on a private course - without a membership!

     

    Forest Lake (South Haven, Michigan) was finished in 2015 and we are ready to open to the public in 2021! We are taking, what seems to be, a unique approach to "memberships". We want skiing to be accessible to everyone- not just those that can afford a private lake (course permitting is getting to be near impossible) or people who are lucky enough to snag a membership on a ski lake (where membership numbers understandably need to be limited). So, what we have done is put together a per set ski set rates that would be comparable to having a membership on a lake. The set rates below are for slalom or trick - we can provide jump sets too!

     

    This strategy is beneficial for both the skiers and us, allowing:

    • Flexibility in scheduling. We provide a boat and driver, so no need to coordinate with other members to get a few pulls in. (We can typically facilitate day-of scheduling). (We will consider visiting certified drivers to drive, but generally we do not allow guests to drive)

    • By personally managing pulls, we can better utilize all-day lake use – allowing more skiers access to the lake.

    • Pay as you play. There is no need to pay for an annual membership to be later limited to its use through scheduling conflicts or changes to personal priorities.

    • No membership responsibilities. Come to ski and/or stay overnight. Make Forest Lake your ski destination. There are no membership obligations like grounds or lake maintenance, etc.

    • Generous sets. 1 set = 8 passes

    • The boat is covered. Never worry about a boat, boat maintenance, or gas – we've got all that covered and will always utilize the latest technology. (sorry, no outside boats)

    • Using a Forest Lake boat saves time and money getting a boat into the water. Our water is very clean, and we are committed to keeping out all invasive species that can hitchhike on boats and water toys. (sorry, no outside boats)

    • Ski a certified course. We generally host a class L tournament once a year. Our slalom and jump courses are certified and always well maintained.

    • On-site coaching. We have some of the highest-rated skiers, judges, drivers, and safeties not only in Michigan but in the world, skiing at Forest Lake several times a week. With the appropriate planning, we can facilitate coaching sessions and/or driving lessons.

    • On-site lodging. Discounts for boat and lake use with on-site lodging. We have overnight accommodations that allow skiers and coaches (if you bring your own) to schedule private lake time for days long ski workshops. When the entire property is yours to use, we can be more generous with discounts. (https://myforestlake.guestybookings.com)

    • Bring the whole family. Forest Lake is family-friendly. 2021 brings an expansive trail system throughout the 120 acres of the property for nature walks or mountain biking. The property also borders the Van Buren State Trail giving you groomed, non-motorized access to South Haven or right to Lake Michigan's beaches. Non-ski-set water options are available for those wanting to learn to ski or go tubing. We also have a small playground, beach volleyball court, sand toys, kayaks, rafts, children's life vests, beach towels, and other fun in the sun toys for your use.

     

    We also have a trusted partnership with Action Water Sports and WakeHouse - so if you would like to demo new equipment, we can help facilitate this.

     

    You show up – let us do the rest!

    Is a ski school vacation appropriate for an open water weekend warrior?

    We have a ski site in Michigan with onsite lodging- while we can offer coaching too- if you and your buddies want to "get your feet wet" on a private course and lake before committing to a full ski school feel free to look us up- even if it's just for a long weekend! We can offer huge ski set (boat and driver included) discounts when guests also stay overnight. Www.myforestlake.com password Ski2021
