January roll call Who is still skiing?

cougfan · January 2

@skialex ok here is the thread starter post away! The Wednesday night crew is waiting for the weather to cooperate so we can get our first ski of the new year in. This past week the weather in the PNW has been awful☹️ Super windy, rainy and cold. We can deal with the cold not so much the wind and rain. Hopefully we will get a break soon and can get some skiing in. Maybe even get @Rednucleus out for his first post hernia surgery ski😁 the Wednesday night crew has our “end of the year party” scheduled for next Saturday so maybe we will be able to ski before we eat and drink our evening away😉🤣😂 Will
post an account of our day/night next week

First set of the year... thanks to global warming temp was 59 today. It was common to have low temperatures and even some snow between Christmas and New Years but not any more...

Got my first set in 2021 Friday.

Did not go New Year's Day, but skied today in NC, water around 50, air may have got to 60. Trying to ski through the winter for the first time to maintain some rhythm til spring.

MitchellM · January 3

Finally got my youngest out to McCormick's for some lessons on the course. Air temp 81. Water temp 70. A great January day in Florida.

Got to go out today in FL with my in-laws wasn't pretty but fun. That'll be it until April/May.

Feel bad about posting this, but it’s getting warmer instead of colder here in Greece.
Sunny calm day, water 57 and air 65. So strange and good at the same time, temp was around 50 in November...

Ok @skialex that does it. You have just earned a lake Curlew panda from the Wednesday night crew 😁

Cam · January 5

Should've been having my first set of the year tomorrow but the UK has went into lockdown again

Current status here in central Illinois. SOLID We even have freezing fog - at least it looks spectacular. At least 4” of ice on the lake.

First set of 2021! Air 41, Water 45. Still got the 4-year old stoked to be in the boat. Dropped a degree of wing angle and ran a few 28's and a 32. Great day on the water!

ral · January 10

Conditions are pretty good in Southern FL, looks even skiable @ dawn in front of my billionaire Palm Beach neighbors...

AdamCord · January 10

39F water 37F air still ripping at Hilltop

Thanks @ToddA for the shot

skialex · January 10

Don’t want to post pictures again... doesn’t feel right... the past week was hot like never before. Skied more sets in a week than in August. Today water was 61and air in the mid 70s. Same day last year we had snow in Athens.
Spain suffers the worst snow storm in the past 50 years...
I’ll ski as much as I can, as we are expecting a 15 degrees drop in Celsius before the end of the week..
@cougfan you can give me as many pandas as you want! 😊

cougfan · January 10

@skialex be careful what you wish for 😉 all your posts about your beautiful weather over there while we suffer with our cold, rainy, windy PNW winter are starting to wear on me 😂🤣😉😁 hopefully things will get better so we can get back our skiing anyway here is your lake Curlew panda from the Wednesday night crew 👍 bu the way you are the first baller to receive 2 lake Curlew pandas enjoy!

ToddA · January 11

@AdamCord absolutely beautiful day out there at Hilltop with you guys. Also, just in case anyone was wondering, @AdamCord into -41 in those 39* water conditions! The rest of us are at least skiing with something covering our head...

3 rides this weekend

Cnewbert · January 11

Fourth day skiing today since the first of the year. Gorgeous, sunny day and light winds. Water has dropped about 3° to 59°, but hardly a soul on the public lake. That’s one advantage of winter skiing!

This is my last ride for a while... need to resolve a health issue that troubles me for some years. I’ll be back in a little over 2 months.. and anyway temperatures will drop significantly and finally winter is arriving, we even expect some snowfall.
So give me as many pandas as you like for the summery photos...

cougfan · January 13

@skialex i’ve really enjoyed your “summer time pics” this past few months and must admit i’m jealous of the nice weather you have been enjoying. Wish we could get some of that up here in the PNW! Really tired of the wind, rain and cold! Spring can’t come soon enough.
Best of luck concerning your health issue! Post more pics when you return to skiing.
Just for you here is your third lake Curlew panda courtesy of the Wednesday night crew enjoy!

Just got the new tug here @ Cottonwood...two sets behind er so far

The_MS · January 13

Sweet look

dvskier · January 13

I agree that is surely a great looking Nautique!

Cnewbert · January 15

Our lake hit a season low this morning of 57°, with air temps in the low 50s but rising under sunny skies. A little breezier than we’d wish but the lee shore offered plenty decent water and our Fluid Neos kept us absolutely warm.

Zaneh2oski · January 16

We’re skiing here at Eden Lake in Fort Myers.

Rednucleus · January 16

Got my 1st January set in the books today, 4 weeks after hernia surgery. Managed a full pass on 6th try. Hilltop up to a balmy 46 today, almost time for the ski bikinis!!
