Ski Southeast Messageboard

At last the weather in Florida is cooperating for the first time in some 5 weeks! We will be celebrating with our usual fanfare in the form of 300 plus horsies on the local lakes this week starting tomorrow night! I know you snowskiers don't want to hear this, but here in Florida snowskiing is something that happens once a year. Waterskiing goes on most of the year. Thank God mother nature finally gave us a subtle break from the recent garbage!!! I know, I know, think snow. But my snow days are over and I am praying for wet days now!

I don't waterski but it will give me a chance to ride my roadbike to work again and get some of this winter blubber off. 300 horsies in a ski boat? Man that sounds nice...

IMO there is no comparison between water skiing and skiing. Water skiing sucks, skiing is freedom, and you don't have some gas guzzling boat pulling you around a nasty Florida lake. But, if you have to live on that flat sand bar of Florida you better have a boat to deal with the oppressive heat.
