Baller Razorskier1 Posted November 14, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 14, 2011 Might be shutting down this week. Looks like highs in the 40s, lows in the 20s, and the water temp is painful. Need to get the ski boat out, sink the slalom course for winter, then take out two docks, two lifts, and my little Boston Whaler that I use for course maintenance. Sounds like a cold days work this Saturday or Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted November 14, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 14, 2011 Oh, and my cold water totals including last week's sets -- 11 sets, 210 passes, 1260 bouys. Maybe get a chance to add another set this week, maybe not. Either way, had a great October and November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted November 15, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 15, 2011 Taking everything out isn't going to be fun! Might try to freeze/ski one more time on Friday if the wind behaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MSJ Posted November 17, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 17, 2011 In the Spring we regularly ski with ice still on the lake. We normally need to take a few passes up and down to help push the ice away, but it's a fun time of the year for us!! A few drinks afterwards never hurt as well.

Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted November 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2011 We skied yesterday @ Radar Lake. 35 degree air temp and 40 for the water. Fun in the sun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dirt Posted November 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2011 That is just too cold. It will be 62 and sunny today. The water will be 51ish and it is hard to get motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted November 21, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted November 21, 2011 chuck - heavy duty shock cord run through one of those "floaties" the kids swim with in the summer. keeps the boats well enough secured, but does have some "give". we use that foam floatation/insulation for the course as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller xrated Posted December 18, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 18, 2011 Once skied two days after ice out in northern MN. Air might have been 45, water surface temp was a balmy 34 degrees....I don't want to know what it was past the surface but it was bad. bananron where up north are you? My ice out run was done near McGregor. If the boat is in in April I will ski, but come Opener I fish and usually don't make it back up until Memorial.

Baller skier2788 Posted December 18, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 18, 2011 Do you guys have a heated boat house or do you re-winterize after every day? I would love to be skiing this time of year but no garage and don't want to winterize the boat every saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller SM Posted December 18, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 18, 2011 Me, Brent and the guys would normally go skiing right about now. It's minus 12c and the lake isn't too frozen. A bit of axe work and you're in. The problem is that there is no snow on the ground and it doesn't look any different than October. Hardly the right conditions to make a video. Too bad, it would have been a new record for late season skiing. Our previous record was Dec 9. Those were good conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted December 18, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 18, 2011 Service light under the motor box produces enough heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted December 18, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted December 18, 2011 @skier2788 - no heated boat house, we just set up the boats with "quick drains" so you can drain the block and manifolds, pump out the shower, and blow out the heater core in minutes after you're finished.

Nick Sullivan Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I use a 3 ft. Golden Rod in the engine campartment and a 1 ft. Golden Rod under the shower. pump out the shower and its good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted December 19, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted December 19, 2011 The first two hours is exactly why I moved to FL. I got the memo that said I didn't have to stay in Southern Canada. And only visit in the summer. Brrrrrr!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skibug Posted December 20, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think dynamite would have been a better (and quicker) means of opening up the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted December 20, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 20, 2011 Those cold temperatures cannot be good for vinyl or fiberglass/gelcoat. Once the water gets below 70 in the fall I start using my drysuit again depending on the air temp. Once it starts dipping into the 30's at night, my boat goes in the garage. I want it completely dry before the snow arrives. I would ski until Thanksgiving if I did not have to worry about my boat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted December 23, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted December 23, 2011 I just sent Eddie a text. He said the ice is not really too thick so he is skiing Saturday. I may spending the weekend with the in-laws this weekend but that better that than freezing to death.
