Re: Who's still skiing?

We're still skiing here in Houston.  The mornings have gotten a bit cooler, so we've just pushed our start time back a couple of hours. Water temp on our ski lake is about 68 right now and air temps are mid 70s, cold enough to need a heater top to be comfortable. Or maybe I'm just a sissy! lol

Re: Who's still skiing?

It's been real rainy here in FL. the lakes came up 3 feet over the summer storms that came through. Still manageable, because it used to be about 3 feet low, haha... but still plenty of warm. I know they had snow in Nebraska already...

Re: Who's still skiing?

Suppose to be 68 or higher today in New Hampshire, WOW!!! Water temp is going to be bone chilling, stopped steaming in the 40s, so that's not good.

Re: Who's still skiing?

We sure did have some frosty plans but we really lucked out with the weather! it ended up going from heavy rain and cold yesterday to being up around 60 and sunny today!

I would just like to thank everyone who came out to support it and look forward to find out what the total donation will be for breast cancer research!

Certainly a great turn-out and totally short-n-shirt weather on the beach, NICE!!! Great turn out and some impressive skiin', despite the 50deg estimated water temps. Great job JP!!! Good thing Wade didn't come though, otherwise it would have been cold-n-rainy!!! wink

Re: Who's still skiing?

Last day of skiing for me was on the 18th down at Powell.  I winterized my boat on the 20th.  so, MChilcutt, did you make it down to Powell over fall recess weekend?    Aaron

Re: Who's still skiing?

At least for the next few days we're in winter stand by mode here. Sunday it was 85 degrees out, and yesterday and today we were lucky to see 65 with it at 33 when I woke up this morning. Supposed to be 80s by the weekend, though, so the boat will come back out of the garage. smile

Re: Who's still skiing?

Still skiing in Toledo Ohio, water temp in the high 40's air temp in the 50s, temps getting below freezing at night is keeping the water nice and cold...  Probably will put the boat up in a week or two. :-(

Re: Who's still skiing?

The coldest i ever skied was at home in Mass, mid-October, with 45 degree water. It didn't seem like that big a deal with 60 degree air, but I was wearing a shorty and I may have got a nose bleed from the cold. Not sure how many of you have had a nose bleed while skiing, but the combination of water, wind and speed has tendency to scare the boat crew severely. (sorry, no pictures of that one!)

This week it about it for us in Utah except for the ocassional day before the water freezes some time in December. Water is still in the low 50s.
