Baller Keith_Menard Posted April 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 17, 2019 I have been wanting to snowboard and waterski in the same day. This weekend we did it! Conditions kind of sucked for both, but good friends makes it all awesome! Looks like it was my last day snowboarding and first day of the waterski season...and MAN was I sore :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LoopSki Posted April 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 17, 2019 My buddy is working on a Surf, WaterSki, Snowski in same day. Starting out surf in Pacifica, Waterski in Sacramento, snow ski Squaw Valley. Crazy thing it will be in May and conditions will likely be good on all three!

HighAltitude Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Ski and ski/board is always an option in Colorado. ABasin should stay open until July this year. If somebody has this on their bucket list, let me know. I'm on a lake south of Denver and always happy to give somebody a pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller aspski Posted April 18, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 18, 2019 Congrats! I was lucky enough to do this a few years ago as well. Skied Silver Start in Vernon BC and then got a few slalom sets in at the end of the day on Okanagan Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixball Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I got to surf, all though what I did may not be called surfing by a true surfer and snow ski in one day. Surfing early am and over to Mt. Hood for a ski that afternoon. The surfing was cold and ugly but I made up for that at the mountain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller OldGuysRule Posted April 19, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 19, 2019 Reminds me of my "Bucket List" accomplishment in 2012. Water skied in the morning and snow skied in the afternoon in Southern Indiana on my birthday. I still brag occasionally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingshredd Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Shooting for this also, probably pull it off this May or Even June as Squaw Valley will be open until July 7th this year. Maybe even throw in a mountian bike ride. Probably start with the snow before the slopes become more like waterskiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller pregom Posted April 21, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2019 @"Keith Menard" - We didn't measure it, but I think the water temperature was probably in the high 40's (F, not C :smile: ). In my opinion, at those values, coupled with good air temperature, it all boils down to the ratio of time above the water versus time in the water. With free skiing that ratio is by far above 1, whereas with running passes through a slalom course that ratio is close to 0. When I sit there in the water with almost no movement, that's when the cold gets to me. Having said that, I wish I could have joined you for the other 2 acts before the waterskiing act. It was a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller pregom Posted April 21, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2019 @HighAltitude - very tempting, my epic pass would still be good and this is the last season A-Basin is included... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
