Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted April 30, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 30, 2015 For coaching you might try Terry Winter near Sacramento: http://www.skiwestcoast.com/coaching/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted May 1, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted May 1, 2015 Makayla Haw coaches (I believe) at Bel Aqua in Rio Linda, just outside of Sacramento. www.makaylahaw.com. WIlli Ellermeier is at Liquid Zone in Pleasant Grove, also near Sacramento. 707-227-0913. Ski Oasis in Carson City, NV is reportedly closed, but you could try calling. (775) 267-9738. I'll be in Incline Village myself May May 12 to 18. My youngest graduates from college! Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MarcusBrown Posted May 1, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted May 1, 2015 @mellig I'm in Chico. Not sure if that's on your way or not. I provide lessons on my lake just outside of town. Let me know if that might be something you are interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimbrake Posted May 1, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 1, 2015 @lpskier - does your kid go to Sierra Nevada College? Racer? Congrats on the graduation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ALPJr Posted May 1, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 1, 2015 Berkeley Aquatic Park is a good place to try in the Bay Area. Not sure who the best contacts are these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted May 1, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 1, 2015 Get ahold of me for Berkeley Aquatic Park rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted May 2, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted May 2, 2015 @Jimbrake Yes, SNC. He is a snowboarder and just recently became a competitive water skier on his college team (this was their first year). My daughter graduated from Auburn in December, so theoretically I'll have both kids off the payroll. @igkya Glad to hear it! I googled "carson city water ski" and this came up: "Ski Oasis Water Ski Lake - CLOSED Carson City, NV, 89706 ... www.yellowpages.com/carson-city.../ski-oasis-water-sk... Yellowpages.com" Better get Ma Bell to sort that out! Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller igkya Posted May 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2015 @lpskier, Ski oasis is/was also running a wakeboard cable system, which I believe is closed. The ski club, while not as many members as in years past is open and we're skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller cragginshred Posted May 3, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 3, 2015 Someone said there is a course on Fallen leaf lake,. that would be amazing (anyone one know if it's true)? For those who don't know Fallen leaf is a small ridge over from Emerald bay on Tahoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted May 3, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 3, 2015 @cragginshred Yes, I have seen a course on Fallen Leaf Lake many times, but I don't know if is there only seasonally or not. I have seen it there in September. It is on the north end of the lake. Perfectly clear water but quite chilly. Seems to always be glassy in the morning and then quite windy all afternoon.

Baller mellig Posted May 3, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted May 3, 2015 @MarcusBrown sounds like a good excuse to make a slight detour through Chico May 22 or 23 if you are available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Tim Vaio Posted May 3, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 3, 2015 We live in Truckee (about 20 miles from Incline) but also have a home at Bell Acqua. Our boys are in school in Truckee but would bring you to Bell Acqua as a guest of ours to ski if you have time. Let me know and I can get you connected with either me or the boys to ski.
