SUMMER EVENTS

Note from President

 

Metroplex Skiers,

We have included the schedule for Ski League and Hot summer nights.  We have included a few nights for whoever wants to get together and eat, ski and hangout on a few Fridays throughout the summer.

Skiing once a week is good for some of us.  I am looking for skiers with boats that would also like to connect with several non-boat owners that want to ski on other nights, weekdays, and weekends. If you are willing to help partner up a new member or current member who does not have a boat, let me know. 

 If you want to lead a food night, it would be good for several people to share in this event. Jennifer and I will take care of the first scheduled night and let you know how and what you need to do. It would be good for several people to share in this event.

Upcoming Events

 

We have a lot of events coming up and we will need boats and drivers

 

 A lot of these events will require volunteers. You are not required to stay the whole, even an hour will help. We will also need boats for these events. If you are interested in volunteering and helping out, please contact Ashley Flowers.

 

Thank you so much for all of your help, and helping to spread the love of water skiing to others!

Show Ski

 

Extremely popular in the upper Midwest, and practiced throughout the nation, show skiing combines components of all water ski disciplines. Water ski shows are an aquatic Broadway musical, featuring several water ski acts choreographed to music and built around a theme that tells a story.

 

Do you love to ski and are looking for a way to get the whole family involved? Try Show Ski! Contact for : Nathan Dabboussi at nathan.dabboussi@gamil.com
