Baller Marco Posted April 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2015 My daughter got a promotion in her company that will include moving to Syracuse, NY. @Than_Bogan and the rest of you North Easterners...Do you have any information on any of the lakes in the area? I see that Pecks Pond, Bowen's Pond, and Delta Lakes Water Ski Club are in the neighborhood. Do any of them accept new members and have a club boat? Any information is much appreciated!

Baller JonB Posted April 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2015 Marco, I can't answer your specific questions on the lakes/clubs you mentioned.....however we are always looking for a third person for free skiing on our Oneida Lake just north of Syracuse. Please send me a PM if she would be interested or if I may help out with any Syracuse information. Hope she likes snow!!!!! Jon B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted April 22, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks @JonB. She is pretty addicted to course skiing, but I'll pass along your generous offer. She is used to snow, growing up in the Colorado mountains. I don't think that she would like the kind of snow you had last winter, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller hacker Posted April 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2015 I will check with the guys at Peck's. If they are accepting new members, it would be an outstanding place for her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller PatM Posted April 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hiddenpass is up near there, but I do believe it is all private. Worth checking into because it is one of the best sites in the east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted April 22, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks folks! @hacker Thanks for the offer but hold off for the moment on contacting the guys at Peck's. I just now found out she might turn down the offer and stay put. I'll revive this thread if she does decide to make the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller hacker Posted April 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2015 If she knew how much fun the group of tournament skiers are up here, she would probably take the job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted April 22, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm sure that's the case. She hasn't made the decision final, so there is a chance she still might make the move. We should know for sure in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JonB Posted April 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2015 Marco, If she does come to Syracuse, I have three daughters that live and work here that could help with the transistion to the area. They have moved & relocated a few times and know what it is like. Maybe a different perspective on the area and where to stay......than her new co-workers. Always a hard decision to relocate!!!

Baller Than_Bogan Posted April 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm afraid I'm quite a few hours from Syracuse and don't know "the scene" there at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted April 23, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2015 The guys at Pecks are good guys I don't have any phone numbers but I am sure they will help out. Hidden pass is outside of Rochester jd pretty far from Syracuse. Pangaea is probably the same distance as HiddenPass and George will always pull skiers.

Baller_ lpskier Posted April 23, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 23, 2015 Danny Peckham is the owner of Peck's Pond. Danny's contact info from the Eastern Region Tournament Guide is printed below. Peck's is a nice place to ski. The water is warm and the members are great guys (I don't know of any current female members.) Lots of PBs have come off Peck's Pond. Peck's has a new boat for 2015, and will host its usual two tournaments this summer, one in late June and one in early September. As noted above, both Hidden Pass and Pangaea are in the neighborhood (one east, one west), but not close enough for daily skiing. On the other hand you can ski six tournaments a year and never drive more than two hours from Syracuse. I'm not sure about Bowen's Pond (located within a half hour or so of Peck's). It used to be a twice a year tournament site, but the tournaments stopped and the Bowen brothers (a couple of very solid skiers) kind of disappeared several years ago. If Danny's club is full, ask him about the Bowen brothers and he may be able to point you in the right direction. Hank's Pond in Central Square is another former tournament site in the immediate Syracuse area. It used to belong to former AWSA president Hank Miner. Hank is deceased, and I don't know what is going on there now. There hasn't been a tournament there in at least a decade, and I don't know anyone that skis there, and I'll stick my neck out and say I know 99% of the NY tournament ski crowd. Again, Danny may be able to help you. I have never heard of the Delta Lake Ski Club. Danny's contact info as it appears in the tournament guide is: Dan Peckhan 11639 rt176 Cato, NY 13033 315-882-1579 dan@shamrockinnovations.net I hope to see your daughter skiing in NY this summer!

Baller Marco Posted April 24, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks everyone for all the awesome feedback. At the end of the day, she decided she is not going to make the move. All of this incredible feedback reinforces my belief that the skiing community is a special place to be, and thanks to @Horton for facilitating BoS, which gives us all the opportunity to communicate. Such an awesome resource! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted April 25, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 25, 2015 So where does she ski? She owes us all a set. ;-) Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted April 25, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted April 25, 2015 She skis at Laku in northeastern Colorado, and also at my lake in western colorado. Your'e welcome to come ski with me anytime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skiron07 Posted May 1, 2019 Baller Share Posted May 1, 2019 My son is graduating from college on Memorial Day weekend from Hamilton which is right by Utica- any good ski sites nearby that I can take him to for a day's visit? It appears that Pangea has been reorganized so drop-bys are somewhat discouraged. Thanks much!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted May 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2019 Have you tried reaching out to George at Pangaea. I know he has been doing different things lately but he is a good guy and he might give you a pull if he is in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted May 2, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted May 2, 2019 I believe Pangaea is now operated by a club. Memorial Day should have skiers around, so a drive by will likely be fruitful, but not a certainty. I think a guest fee is $50. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skiron07 Posted May 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2019 Yep Pangea is reorganized with no certainty Peck's sounds like the place to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
