December Ski Ride Role Call

[Horton]

I am not saying it was good but I went around 36 red balls today. (6 passes - all on green loop)

[ForrestGump]

Skied late this afternoon. Air 68,water 60.

[ozski]

On my way out for a set soon. 28c water warm as a glove... We have a southerly on shore breeze today and I'm guessing the south course will be the pick of the three...

[schafer]

i need to come visit any of you. alberta has a winter storm warning issued today.

[RichardDoane]

windy and raining in WA today, cold weather is blowing in, Eddie said he'd be glad to drive but it was easier to just wait for a better day next week, @ob & @shaneh - I'm jealous, @horton - even Bakersfield sounds good right now

[A_B]

We have ice already and headed for a deep freeze by the end of the week. Only skiing for me will be in Fort Myers this winter.

[9400]

Got a ride in yesterday. 55 air, 55 water

[DooSPX]

My last ski set so far was two weeks ago. I was pulling my uncle, he had a crazy OTF and broke a rib. He still gets it pretty good on the water for being 67 years old.

[bogboy]

Had a nice break in the weather yesterday up at the course lake. Got 10 out of 12 passes. Water temp. 35. We are filling an ice chest on the dock with hot water to stand in, warm your hands, bindings, etc. that helps a lot.

[Chef23]

I hate you all except for @bogboy. I am not crazy enough to ski in 35* water. I draw the line about 55*.

[bishop8950]

Skiing every weekend. Air usually in the 60s and water in the 50s. I grew up MI so skiing this time of year still puts a smile on my face.

[estrom]

Weather's not an issue here. It's my daughter's darn basketball schedule that's tough to work around from now through February, bless her little heart.

 

[dbressel]

Was out on the water 12/1 in Fresno, CA -- air 70s water 50s. Skiing in Aquasphere full suit with awsome flexiblity. My Wife and I had bouy counts up to our average. Water to lake has been shut down so we only have a couple more week left; but may make it to end of year if it rains a few days.

[SkiJay]

Even the water in Orlando is struggling to stay above the 50s!

[skihard]

@schafer I'm not missing that weather at all! Alberta is taking another beating I see.

 

Now as SOON as I get my boat back from the repair shop I'll be the happiest dude on here! Man it will feel like Christmas for me! And at the rate it's going it will probably be Christmas before I get it back too! :(

[Wish]

@SkyJay. What the heck thermometer are u using?? Guess you could drive 40mn north and ski here. We have mid 60s. Will be upper 60s by weeks end.

[Not_The_Pug]

It was about 70 air in Nor Cal on Sunday and water was about 55. Skiing in a wet suit on the 1st of December is great.

[Nick Sullivan]

Skied yesterday. 37 water, 39air. It was fantastic.

[The_MS]

Getting ready for island maintenance as soon as we get another few inches of ice

[ToddL]

I skied today here in Texas. The air was 84 degrees and the water was 55 degrees. I skied in a full suit, and it wasn't too cold. Ran up the line to my PB line.

[eleeski]

Took a few laps of Gold coast at Squaw Valley on my Goodes. It's December - that means frozen water. (And factory skis?)

Perhaps I'll head down to the desert for some warm water waterskiing when the snow stops.

[Nick Sullivan]

Skied again today, air was a few degrees colder. The first two north southbound passes where bad due to the sun blocking my vision. However, the clouds moved in just enough to block the sun from blinding me. Ran my 32off pass so I was pretty happy for this time of year.

[ForrestGump]

Skied again today, too. Air 78, water 65. Pretty pleasant out.

[jipster43]

Shoveled my driveway for the 6th time in two days. High of 5* today and overnight lows around 10 below. 'Tis the season!

[ToddL]

With today's set, I now have officially skied every month of 2013! I skied every month since April 2012. I just need a short warm spell sometime in Jan 2014 to keep it going.

[Wish]

So in reading some of these posts I realized they could really upset those with frozen or near frozen sites. So I just wanted to say that I did not ski yesturday here in FL. I also did not ski this morning and have no plans to ski the next 3 days. It's been cold, windy, rainy, stormy, on and on...

 

 

 

Note: The above comments are not lies nor misrepresentations. I could have chosen more precise wording with a more detailed explination of what I really meant and regret having not done so. But the general idea of making everyone feel a sence of fairness for those that can ski in Dec and those that can't, is in fact a good plan and one we should all embrace.

[ForrestGump]

Got to ski again yesterday. Air 78, water 70. Sadly, I think I'm now done. Weather rolling in today and the forecast calls for highs below 50 for at least the next week. Grrrr.

[skiep]

Going Saturday!! North Florida

[ToddL]

The cold front hit us today. I'll just keep thinking about my last ski ride this past Tuesday...

[behindpropellers]

Took a quick run here in Ohio @ Chippewa Lake on Wednesday.

 

[Horton]

[MattP]

It's about time @Horton joined the rest of us in our depression. Though it has been unseasonably warm here in ATL. Highs have been in the low 70's this week. Still no boat in the water..

[Horton]

@mattp that is because @ob hates you

[Horton]

@ob yes sorry. what I should have said is you get to ski whenever and wherever you want

[MattP]

@ob @horton thanks for the support guys...

[Wish]

They only tease the ones they love..... Kinda like a 4th grade boy with a grade school crush.

 

PS.. I did not ski a 28 32 32 and 3 outa 4 35s this morning on glass. That would be just mean to say and not very fair.

[Horton]

@wish you might want to be careful how you phrase that.

[skihard]

Got my boat back from the shop today and tomorrows high is 39F. ARRRR.

Looking like a week or terrible weather before I will even get a chance to stand up on the water behind it!!!!! :(

[bkreis]

Water miami 76, air 83!!!! Come on down!

[ForrestGump]

Geez, 36 hours ago it was 74 degrees when I woke up. Now, the high was 41 today.

[liquid d]

Skied yesterday in the am glass...about 75, water the same 75. Gonna ski at Lapoints' Saturday behind the new MC ...should be about 80. You boys are nuts up north! That whole winter thing is for snow skiing.

[OldGuysRule]

Here in central Indiana, the small ponds were iced over but that didn't keep several of us from skiing on December 1st. Water was 48 degrees and air was 55 degrees. After water skiing we headed for Perfect North Ski Slopes and finished the day snow skiing. It's all about "motion!" Some of my ski buddies water skied again on Wednesday....12 inches of snow on the ground today! Looking to ski on January 1st.

[schafer]

@OldGuysRule im an avid Colts fan. If i make the trip for a home playoff game in January and you guys are still skiing id love to come for a polar bear set. been frozen solid here in alberta since Nov. 2nd

[mmosley899]

Great skiing with @ob at Chet's Wednesday, beautiful day... @mattP come on up to Whitestone, the boat is in the water! But you may want to try to stay out of the water, it's cold!

[MattP]

@mmosley899 dock start, dry suit and spin at both ends with a dock sit down?

[LZywicki1]

Polar Bear Ski Air temp 22. Almost fell off the platform putting my ski on, it was a sheet of ice. Now its time to dry everything off and put it storage for 3 months.

[oldjeep]

Little brisk this morning, even for MN - but did get some sledding in

[SkiJay]

Testing out the old run-flats there, @oldjeep? =)

[oldjeep]

No, I just got new tires and had purchased some new TPMS sensors to get rid of the problematic Dodge aluminum stem setup. Unfortunately I found out after that the 2009 takes a different sensor than all of the other 4th gen trucks. Waiting for a little warmer weather to break the beads and install the right sensors.
