And now, people who lives in warmer places might think "45 f watertemp,what´s so good about that?"

It's all relative! (the Fun part!) There's a few Guys on another site that ski yr. round (as long as the ice does'nt stop them) and their water is atleast Low 40's most of the winter! They dont even slow down! Me and my ski partner wait for atleast 65 deg. F! Of course, I'm from so. Cal. and he's from Florida!

Skied utah lake lastnight in a shorty. Water was 60 with air around 78. Very very sick day of skiing with no wind all day.

Air has been in the upper 60's and low 70's pretty often lately. Not sure what the water is yet because I still have no been able to get out and ski!!! Its killing me!

you're not skiing in Detroit dude...   Go north towards Pontiac & the Fenton/Waterford area  1/2-3/4 hr, lots of lakes, ski boats and skiers. 

http://mwsa.org/2009/

check in with Skiers Pier Marina (Waterford) and Silver Spray sports (Fenton).  Malibu & Nautique dealers respectively they might be able to hook you up.

talking to a lot of people is great, keep that up and you're right it will work out.

maybe post up on some of the boat sites like:   www.tmcowners.com  www.themalibucrew.com  www.planetnautique.com

& its still April!!! haha  I'm often able to ride the sled on the lake this late into the spring....record ice out by 3 weeks

We had a beautiful mid 80's day on Fri. and I actually got out for the 1st passes of the season! Who Waa!
Then Sat. we had 3 rounds of severe weather and 4-5 Tornado's roll through Mid. TN! The Lake looks like Mud water now...

Yippee!
We're still skiing Mammoth. We received over one foot of snow this week:o)
We'll be skiing until 4th of July!
Enjoy it!

Snow

Yes, do! Can't wait to see it.
What kind of Polaris do you guys have?
We've (3) 800RMK's.

Snow

MORE RECORDS FALL!

Nashville area is still carrying on with the same spirit from which this thread was started. Rain fall totals for Sat. & Sun. (alone) set the new highest rain fall for the entire Month of May ever recorded. The official #1 and #2 single day totals for Nashville proper are now set by Sun. #1 w/7"+ and Sat. #2 w/6.5"+ with some areas recieving over 16"... Some rivers have or will crest today @ 12 ft.+ above previous flood Records. The Cumberland river will crest today @ about 12 FT. above flood level...

50+ mi. of I-40 is shut down with countless east bound motorist's still stranded after 20+ hrs. The death toll is unconfirmed @ 9 . One Hospital reported flooding of the 1st two floors. Opryland Hotel evacuated some 5000 guests to local school gyms. Countless water rescues have been made with many residents still land locked and trapped in their own neighborhoods.

I have been watching a very interesting trend or weather phenomenon here and across the country (even the world) for the last 5 yrs. or so. Very uncharacteristic weather patterns for many of us. Mid TN. is now considered the "New Tornado alley" with more death and destruction  in the last few yrs. then the combined totals for some of the other traditional "Alley" states...

Our course will surely be unskiable for 1 wk.? 2 wks.??

Our above noted 2 day rain total is 28% of our ave. yearly and is equivalent to the combined ave. rain totals for all of May, June and July!

Sadly, the death toll is rising and is now confirmed @ 18.

Down town Nashville has much flooding now do to the over flowing Cumberland river. The Titans field had water covering it 4-6ft. deep and into the 2nd row of seating. As well as, the locker rms, meeting, equip, mechanical rm's, etc... the same can be said for the Predators Hockey area. One building reported 35 FT. of water in the Lower levels... Opryland Hotel is completely flooded as is the Opry Mills Mall and everything else in the surruoding area...

Our area of Old Hickory Lake, where the course is, looks like a War Zone.

Thats crazy to think that it is 90 degrees in Michigan today and its still snowing in some places. I can't wait to ski tomorrow!!

People we skiing powder this morning (I was working) and I will be water skiing on Tuesday with temps near 70. Love Utah in the spring!
