Baller lpskier Posted January 19, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 19, 2014 Here is a shot of the site of the 2014 Eastern Region Water Ski Championships, on Mirror Lake, in downtown Lake Placid, NY, located within the High Peaks Region of the Adirondack Mountains. Lake Placid is a major, four season, destination resort community, and was the site of the 10932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. The event is centered in a public park in the Main Street shopping district. By local law, Mirror Lake has no motor boat traffic other than for special events. A special wake attenuation system will be employed to replicate as nearly as possible a private ski lake experience in a highly public setting. Watch for more information at http://www.awsaeast.org/ Mirror Lake last hosted the Regionals in 1974 and was the site of the 1952 Nationals.

Baller Wish Posted January 20, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 20, 2014 Where is the park? I see a lot of buildings. What is a special "wake attenuation system" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lpskier Posted January 20, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted January 20, 2014 1. The park is marked by the lower push pin. 2. The wake attenuation system is a trade secret (that's code for "work in progress"). But we'll let everyone know what it is and how well it works once we have the bugs worked out. We have a little ice interfering with R & D right now! Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef23 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Great work John. I am looking forward to it. Are you going to be able to run a pre-regional event on the site to shake out the bugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatroll Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Please keep us informed on your WAS. This could yield great results on our lake if we can make it cost effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lpskier Posted January 31, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted January 31, 2014 I know it doesn't count for much in this crowd, but we just concluded a deal to buy a Bemman jump. Yee Haw! Let the fun begin... Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
