Baller sunnshinne Posted January 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hey ballers, I'm going to be at an internship for 3 months at the Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee. I'd love to be able to get some sets in this summer and don't have a problem working for pulls. (or bringing the standard tank of gas) Is there anyone who belongs at any of the clubs in the area? The closest I've found via USA Waterski Clubs and the Google Earth places to ski was near Nashville. I don't mind driving a couple hours if I have to but ideally there's something closer to get more than one set a week in. Thanks in advance!

Baller Edbrazil Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 For sure, you don't want to ski on either of the 2 river sites the Tour went to: Knoxville or Chattanooga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller lottawatta Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 There are a group of skier who maintain a slalom course on Melton Hill. They like to keep it a secret though. Sorry I don't have contact info for any of them anymore. You might be able to make contact through someone at eskimo escapades. www.eskimoescapades.org.

Baller ghutch Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 It would be a bit of a drive for you but we ski on Percy Priest lake just out of Nashville, closer to Smyrna. You're more than welcome to come ski with us. Check out MCWSC.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldmanskier Posted February 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted February 2, 2019 Not for sure how far you would be from Chattanooga Tenn. I am one of the owners at No Wake Lake (private ski site) in Fort Oglethorpe Georgia about 16 miles south from Down Town Chattanooga. If you wanted to come down on Saturday's or Sunday's while you are working in Oak Ridge I could give you a pull depending on my work on call schedule. In case you want to do a Map Quest to see how far away the lake is from where you are staying in Oak Ridge the Lake address is: NO Wake Lake 3023 Battlefield Pkwy Fort Oglethorpe GA, 30742 If you decide you are interested you can e-mail me at tomjsmothers@aol.com oldmanskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
