I know the owner of the following boat at Santan Lakeside Estates in AZ. This boat is in excellent condition and He takes fantastic care of it. It is also close to you and many others can vouch for the condition of this boat.

You could give the Phoenix, AZ area a shot.  There are some great man-made ski lakes with lots available in the Phoenix metropolitan area.  There are 2 decent resorts within reasonable driving distance.  Flagstaff has snowbowl, about 2 1/2 hours away.  The sunrise ski resort is in the white mountains of eastern az about 4 hours away.  Big Bear Lake resort in california is about 6 hours away. The snow ski season goes from  about december through march in az.  And of course water ski season is great from March through november ( and decent for the winter months with a wetsuit).  The snow isn't as good as Utah & Colorado but not too bad as the base elevation for the resorts is 9200 ft in az.
