Members brettmainer Posted November 5, 2020 Members Share Posted November 5, 2020 I took my last ride for the year yesterday. The weather looks like it is about to turn for the worse here in Sacramento. I usually start back up in March (just a couple of rides due to a snow skiing focus) and start getting serious about it in April. I could buy a wetsuit to shorten the off season, but I feel like my body (mostly my elbows) benefits from 3-4 months not skiing and doing other workouts instead.

Baller Cnewbert Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 We skied today. A cold snap dropped the lake temp to the mid 70s, but we’re still in great shape for a while (central FL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 Yes, looks good through the weekend as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 I skied two sets this evening and had some of my best passes of the season. But the 20-degree temperature drop coming up in a couple days here in the Sacramento area is going to end it for me. Water temps in the 50s sucks the fun out of it for me, so the boat is going home with me on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skialex Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 Took a set yesterday, no wind, sunny and warm... a ski set to remember...

Baller BugHunter Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 At least 10 passes, 6 days a week (beginner, so a pass still means 'trying to make the course'). Central FL. This morning water was 72, air 71. Water will start warming up again if the rain stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TEL Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 November 1st skied 2 sets, taking 2 to 3 weeks off from skiing and working out. I skied more this year than ever, started in late January got to love central Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller SkiRVA Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 I plan to ski Saturday and Sunday in northern North Carolina/southern Virginia. Water temps have been in the upper 60s. Air temps should be around 70-73 all weekend. We are not giving up yet. Skied some of my better passes last weekend! Getting set up for a strong 2021!

Baller robmollysilverlake Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 Had the lift and dock out of the water, boat was drained and in the garage for the last 2 weeks when we had 8" of snow and highs in the 20s. Warmed up on Monday so rolled in a little dock and put the boat back in. @MNshortliner and I have skied every day this week and will go through Saturday before our winter returns again. If the water was warmer that 40 we wouldn't even need a wetsuit @Cnewbert ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted November 5, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted November 5, 2020 @UWSkier, where is your site located? And, just as a general question for lakes in somewhat desert-looking climates: how deep is the water? It must be difficult/expensive to keep it filled to some significant depth (like 6-8 feet). The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 Site southwest of the PHX metro. It is expensive keeping water in the lakes in the desert. I imagine our neighbors in the SoCal desert deal with similar costs, especially in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Fastguy888 Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 @Horton I live 1/2 Mile away from the Puddingstone launch in San Dimas. I have aspirations to get a slalom course put in there someday. Was once famous for drag boat racing events. Puddingstone is about the size 3 large tournament lakes running in parallel. Counter Clockwise direction boating/skiing. With 3 boats running the water is shot; but half the time, off peak summer I am the only boat at speed on the entire lake. This is ironic being in Los Angles County with 10 Million People within 30minutes of the lake. I think there were more boats / skiers in the small rural Nor Cal town I grew up in than entire Los Angeles Basin. FYI the 2028 Olympic XCountry MTB will be taking place around Puddingstone/Bonelli Park. I will be the guy skiing in the middle make slalom a passive aggressive Olympic Sport, lol.

Baller owennibley Posted November 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2020 Got my PB on Tuesday in northern Utah.... 3@32 off 34mph. Mid 60's with water being around 50°F.
