Baller MitchellM Posted November 22, 2022 Baller Share Posted November 22, 2022 Anyone know anything about the skiers on Lake Tennessee in Auburndale, Florida? I'm looking at a house on this lake which has a slalom course and a ski jump. I'd like to get some more information about the lake and the skiers if possible as I proceed. The lake is a bit small at only 100 acres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BKistler Posted November 22, 2022 Baller Share Posted November 22, 2022 Home of Scott Ellis and Bill Wenner. I believe Kevin Jack trains there. When I first saw Lake Tennessee circa 1978 there were no houses anywhere nearby. Just citrus groves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MitchellM Posted November 22, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted November 22, 2022 @BKistler I thought Scot Ellis might be on that lake when I saw the jump, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for the confirmation. Any idea how the busy the boat and ski traffic is on that small lake?There's a nicer home just south on Lake Julianna, but I don't see a course on that larger lake.

Baller Buxrus Posted November 23, 2022 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2022 @MitchellM, I ski on this lake very often in the winter. I have a very close personal friend that lives on this lake. Kevin Jack does a lot of training here for sure. The slalom/ jump traffic is not a problem, however this is a public lake and there has been occasion when a fishing boat, pontoon or PWC will come along and mess up the water. There is no course on Juliana but it is my understanding that a permit for a course has been granted. I can give you my friends name and contact info if you PM me.Let me contact him first to make sure this is ok with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiddenskier Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I moved to Lake Tennisee a little over a year ago. There’s actually 2 slalom courses and a jump. The lake does ski great but watch out for the turtles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MitchellM Posted November 23, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted November 23, 2022 @hiddenskier the house I was scheduled to see this weekend on Lake Tennessee sold last night. My search for a lake house continues! Hopefully they sold to some good skiers. Thanks for everyone's input. I will keep this lake high on my list of possibilities.

Baller Zman Posted November 23, 2022 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2022 I lived on Lake Tennessee from 1994 until 2000. In Lake Juliana Reserve. It does ski great much of the time. But, also big enough to get wind blown at times. Still, I would happily move back. That was a long time ago, but the lake was never busy in the evenings.Your non wind blown days would be fewer on Lake Juliana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
