WesternSkier Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 doane, does your winter dry suit differ from your summer one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted December 6, 2010 Author Baller_ Share Posted December 6, 2010 No, I've been wearing the same bag style, just different layerings underneath, however I'm thinking of getting an Assault hybrid style for when it starts to warm up (May/June). People seem pretty happy with that style of drysuit for when the weather's not quite summer.

Nick Sullivan Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Two sets today in my Assault dry suit. Never got cold with it and set a new PB today. Super nice skiing conditions today at Mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted January 16, 2011 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2011 You guys are freaking ridiculous! It's 55 degrees and drizzling today in Houston. There is absolutely no freaking way my skinny ass is getting on a slalom ski even with my dry suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dirt Posted January 16, 2011 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2011 That was great! You guys are nuts. I am glad I don't live near you. I can easily be persuaded to ski, even when it is cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted February 5, 2011 Author Baller_ Share Posted February 5, 2011 A big "thank you" to Dan Birch, who sent me his GoPro to try this weekend. It was a lot of fun. I filmed my first 2 sets, the first came out the best, so that's the one in the video. Opener @ -28, up the line to the 4 ball @ -38, then a -35 and a -32 to the dock. OfficerFriendly performed the driving duties flawlessly, getting me through the purple loop for the first time this year (3rd set, no camera - Rats!) Water temp of 42, air of 45. As always, it was a beautiful day at the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller SM Posted February 6, 2011 Baller Share Posted February 6, 2011 Don't believe Brent. If he lived in Washington state, he would be waiting on the dock when you guys showed up. He doesn't even wear a wetsuit until the water temp drops below 60. I think he would fit in with the hardcore folks just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted February 7, 2011 Author Baller_ Share Posted February 7, 2011 Dan sent me his camera all set up and adjusted on the headband strap. He had one small float attached in case of crashing, and I also added another bungee cord and float to really insure the camera's survival (it was a borrowed and needed to be returned intact). I didn't realize it captured sound as well, or I would've commentated more.

Baller Dirt Posted February 9, 2011 Baller Share Posted February 9, 2011 That was the best footage I have seen yet. We took the 1st ski ride of the year yesterday. The air was 70, water 54. sunny and no wind. It was warm in a dry suit. Hottest day of the year in WA. I missed 3 openers at 2 ball, darn ski. Had to be the ski. I finally decided I was going to slowly for my fat a.s and went 36. Ran three 22s and a 28. I am paying for it today. Really sore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Awesome way to be keeping it real. Out here in UT we could get a snowmobile and a set of skis to go ski the course. Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzure Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Richard you rock. Being a fellow Washington Waterskier I cant even imagine skiing in the winter. Way to cold. We are still up in the mountains!

Baller eleeski Posted April 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2012 Isn't it always winter in WA? That sounds like the typical summer days I've skied there. I'm not skiing because the water dropped below 70 and the air is barely in the 80s. You WA skiers are tough! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Not_The_Pug Posted April 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2012 Richard, You guys are way tougher than I am now. Skied for the first time yesterday at Bell Acqua in a wet suit, water felt fine in just that. No more dry suit skiing for me. :) Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
