  1. Hi gilski. I had a cath and stents put in back in 2011. I didn't even know I had a problem except for the times I was skiing in the course and would feel some tightness in my chest. Doctor visit lead to stress test, that lead to a heart cath. When they did the cath they found I was 95% blocked! At that point they inserted 3 stents. This all happened just 3 weeks prior to my annual Thanksgiving week ski trip to FL. I discussed my desire to ski with the heart doc and even showed him some video of me skiing... "I don't see a problem with that" was his exact response. 20 days after my cath/stent procedure I hit the water in Florida with no troubles at all! Hope that helps!
  2. Years ago at Spencer's training camp in NYS, there was a Swan that earned the name Rambo. He patrolled the upper end of the lake and would attack skiers or even go after the boat! There are countless (legendary) stories of encounters with Rambo. Here is a sample of his work:

     

  3. I checked the wrong box prematurely...Even though my average is up, I did hit a practice PB of 2@35 (34mph). My tourny PB of 1@35 was set 2 years ago on a questionable course on just my 3rd time through 32 ever. Tourney average is up overall this year, and practice scores are deep 32. As an open water skier that only skis the course 1 or 2 times a week, I can live with that. (even though I want more!)
  4. There are 3 private lakes within a 75 minute drive from my house, so I try to ski those 2 or 3 weeknights. Weekends are spent on big public water. If the wind isn't blowing I can get an open water set before 9am there. One year I kept track of my driving miles, from Father's day to the weekend after Labor day I drove 7500 miles... I did a lot of skiing that summer!
  5. 4th place was also claimed by a northern clim skier. Jessie Dobbertin is from western NY. However she is also a collegiate skier, who spends 9 months a year training with the Florida Southern College ski team.
