Baller Texas6 Posted April 6, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 6, 2012 We're a good six weeks into the season down here in Houston. 85 degrees with 5mph breeze, life is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Marco Posted April 6, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 6, 2012 Not yet. Our lake loses water over the winter and we are waiting for our supply (irrigation canal) to turn back on. We should have water coming into the lake the end of next week, and approximately 10 days after that we should be full and ready to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted April 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 7, 2012 My first two ski sets this year were with MS on the 20th of March. I have added 2 more since. Too funny!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted April 7, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted April 7, 2012 never stopped this winter, but toned it down to just once a week, although there were a couple weeks where the lake was frozen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller T-fromTO Posted April 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 7, 2012 Haven't skied up north here yet but I just got my favorite email of the year from the guy who runs the club I ski at. The ice was off the lake March 14th. The courses went in last week and the club is open for business tomorrow. @travnews Where do you live that you are still getting that much snow?

sixball Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Started the 21 of March in a shorty. Back in to a dry now water lost 19 deg. Air temp going down to 24 for the second night in a row. Mid Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted April 7, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted April 7, 2012 @MS Warm weather we have to send but rain is scarce. Can't spare any this yr. I'll come rase your lake in person with a few ounces this summer. With beer it could be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travnews Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 @T-fromTO south east idaho. It's been a really mild winter. I have been able to see my lawn most of the winter; it's been strange. One day it will be in the 60's or 70's and the next day it will be snowing. That just comes with the territory. All of the snow melted by late this afternoon though.

Baller jipster43 Posted April 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 7, 2012 I still need to summerize the boat and attach the bouies. The lake is low enough to be sketchy, but not sketchy enough to discourage. Two days of snow puts a slight damper on things though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jedgell Posted April 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 7, 2012 Our ice came off in early March, but the owner drained the lake for shore maintenance. He just got the water flowing last week, so with any luck we should be skiing by next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefflyman Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Not yet Syracuse NY still 20's in the am and 50 days. Boat still in storage and lift on the lawn. Although discussed putting the course in soon with ball buddy yesterday. New Radar Vice and Vector boots in shipping mode. Just like Christmas at 10 years old! Yippy!!!

Baller ForrestGump Posted April 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 7, 2012 Been back skiing for two weeks. Only 7 sets in so far as I'm trying to not overdo it on the newly repaired knee. Water is 78 here right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rayn Posted April 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 7, 2012 Free skied twice so far, first day was nice. Second day was miserable. Probably not good enough for a couple more weeks here in the Boston area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefflyman Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 @lpskier no I've never been there but heard alot about it. I m only 10 miles from Hanks pond in Central Square. Just met the owner this fall he ask me to stop in for some runs. I plan to go to a competion this summer for the first time. I ski the course at Jamesville Res. and at our camp at White Lake. My home is on the Oneida river, no course but the river to myself! Hey Lake Placid is the most beautifull place in the world, lucky you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Today was the second time we winterized our boat this spring. It's going to be nice when we can just leave it in the water and not worry about the block cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Laz Posted April 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2012 @T-fromTO Might try tomorrow PM if it's not too windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntq206 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 First ski of the year in today. Water temp 41 deg. Air 52. It was also my first ever set on my new (to me) Strada. WOW - I Immediately felt comfortable on it. Good things are gonna happen this year. Too bad I got tired so early though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller nate93 Posted April 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 9, 2012 We started March 11. It was the earliest I've skied up north. Our water was up to 67 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I took a set air was 44 and water is down to 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skihart Posted April 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 9, 2012 Finally got to the lake this weekend. Could have skied easily but the boat is still under wraps at the storage facility. Water checked in at 50 which is great for this time of the year. Usually the ice only goes out around now. My ski partner is back from Arizona on the 18th and will kick my butt in gear as he has been skiing for 6 weeks in 85 degree water. Time to order my new toys, Z-Box, wide view mirror, radius masterline handle, and some gloves...let the season begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Laz Posted April 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 9, 2012 First set in... missed the good weather by 30 minutes. By the time I skied it was cold, windy and about to rain. But at least I skied in Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstateskier Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Took a few Sets in early February when I was down in Austin working and job interviewing for a few weeks. Now that I've relocated to the San Antonio area got my first 3 sets at SMRR as a Texas resident Saturday! Amazing to be in trunks wit no rubber and 80deg water I April! I think I'm going to love living in south Texas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller colo_skier Posted April 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 9, 2012 March 14th Colorado, Drysuit. March 24th and 27th in Cancun in shorts and life jacket. March 31st drysuit in Colorado. April 7th drysuit with 1mm neoprene top and winter head gear to stop the brain freeze from the 45 degree air. Gotta love spring time in the Rockies!!!
