I5boi Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hi everyone. Been watching for awhile and just signed up. I just started skiing again this year after 20 years off (40 this year). We (wife drives) ski the Columbia River almost year round (time for a drysuit) usually 22 off at 34 but trying different lengths (no course currently but researching river setups). Whats in the bag: 99 MB proboss 190 but looking for a ZO upgrade, 13 senate, radar handle, shop gloves and working on getting stacked. Dip and Rip!!!

boarditup Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Portland is my company's HQ - I get there a few times a year. From what I know of the Columbia, you would be hard pressed to make a floating course work given both current and depth. However, there are a few other bodies of water that may work. While enroute to a golf outing, I saw a dammed smaller river that looked like a great candidate. I'll see if I can get the name of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted October 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted October 24, 2013 There is a good ski club in Banks, Oregon, west of PDX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Erik4c Posted October 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted October 24, 2013 @I5boi You could always get a membership at Warman Lake near Vancouver, WA for all of your course skiing needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GOODESkier Posted October 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted October 24, 2013 All depends on how hard you want to work to get a floating course working in the Columbia........ I can think of about 5 within 60 minutes of my house........... All depends on what you are willing to do. On a side note, there are lots of private lake opportunities in that area, and even a LOT for sale on Winlock Waters. Great site, and nice people.

I5boi Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks everyone. Feel free to PM me with river course suggestions. We are 8 miles up river of the PDX airport and there is a nice spot where the current is slower. Now if I could get rid of my stripper butt haha.
