Baller wolfgang Posted February 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 18, 2017 First time ever skiing in February! My daughter and I skied at the Boarding School in Orlando yesterday morning. It was sunny and warm, low 70's. (Toronto is just now recovering from two snowstorms last week). We demo'd a new Lyric for Katie and a 2017 Senate Alloy for me. Travis is an amazing and patient coach. I have two take-aways to think about till Ice out in April/ may. I've been letting go too early before my turns causing immediate loss of width, and I've been pulling my arms in slightly rather than "hang loose with shoulders relaxied and slightly rolled in" while approaching the white water. We both have lots of sore muscles today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller B_S Posted February 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 18, 2017 If the water weren't so darn hard here in MI, it would be a perfect day to ski, 65 degrees, calm, and not a cloud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted February 18, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted February 18, 2017 We are working on our free skiing spot. It's possible we could ski tomorrow. Ski buddy's truck is very handy for breaking ice at the launch. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted February 19, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted February 19, 2017 Well, one of us got to ski today (in the picture and not me) before the propeller fell off. Very odd, since the cotter pin was still in. It's almost like the nut broke apart. No boat damage. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller Gloersen Posted February 19, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 19, 2017 @MISkier - that shaft key appears bent and jammed obliquely in the shaft key slot. You may need to clean up the edges (of the slot, new key needed of course) carefully with a fine file and read this: Lap Fit a Prop Voice of experience here since I deployed a new Acme 422 to the bottom of the lake a few years ago, where it still remains.

Baller Gloersen Posted February 19, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 19, 2017 Incredible conditions for 2-19-2017, but skiing like crap, can't create any space. The Russians must be hacking into the GPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted February 19, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted February 19, 2017 @Gloersen, the shaft key was about to fall out itself and was not fully in the slot. Actually, it's odd that it even stayed in, as the driver attempted to drive the boat after the prop fell off. That would have had that shaft spinning enough to fling that key out. We removed it before trailering down the road. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller h2onhk Posted February 20, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 20, 2017 Northern Ohio....Check. Air 61, water 39. Vest and board shorts only which is a requirement if you want the FILO crown. Keeping it in the family this year. Wife won it late November for being the Last Out. I snagged it yesterday for being the First In. And yes it was on a trick ski.

Baller colo_skier Posted February 20, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 20, 2017 Feb 18th Water (not warm) air 60ish. Southern Colorado camaro 2mm wet suit, @waterskigirl beanie, Forgot my warm gloves but skied anyway. 4 passes hands frozen. Ski season has started. Here's a pick to prove it. BTW My fellow skiers that day remarked that "stupidity loves company" Five of us so far have skied. Just to prove I didn't just sit on the back of the boat here's me heading back to the dock to uncurl my frozen hands. Really could have used my warm gloves. :s @skier2788 If you come down to Pueblo you are always welcome to grab a set or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller cragginshred Posted February 21, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 21, 2017 Skied yesterday in Nor Cal at Lakeside ranch! Rain was supposed to come in at 1pm but it started closer to 11am. Still was stoked to ski into my personal best line length following 3 weeks off the water. Only did one set due to the rain pelting my face by the sixth pass. It rained all the way home, last night and pouring today. All the creeks and rivers in Tuolumne county are flooded again with the Don Pedro spill way opened for the first time in 20 years. New Melones is filling slower but steady at almost 60% now -this is without the massive snow pack in the sierra's that will feed it in a few months!!!

Baller B_S Posted February 22, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 22, 2017 I had a dream last night that the ice melted off the lake over the weekend and the water warmed up so quickly that I skied and didn't even need a wetsuit.

Baller_ MISkier Posted February 23, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yesterday. Air = 60. Water = 34. Form = bad. This is my first February ski ever and anywhere. Beats my previous earliest start by about 3 weeks. Our ski lake is also ice free, so thinking of putting buoys in next weekend - previously 3/24 was the earliest. There were some ice chunks scattered outside the bay we skied yesterday. I expect those will be gone today or tomorrow. The only month I haven't skied in Michigan is January. I have skied that in Florida. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Sethro Posted February 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2017 Didn't have enough time to drop the boat in before darkness arrived, but hoping to dodge the wind and rain forecast for tomorrow and ski after work. I did get the dock and rails in the water tonight after work, which is necessary to get my boat in the water. I've skied a few times in February before, but never have installed my dock in February. Still have some adjusting of the new bumpers to do yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
