Well that’s making good use of snow anyways, in 2016 we were out on the river on March 29, in 2017 it was April 8. From the looks of things now will be lucky if we get out by May

Thanks Chad. I enjoyed that water ski back in the early 70's. Water skied every Saturday morning on Bald Eagle Lake. The O'Brien water ski was a work of art with the inlayed wood patterns. And every ski was different.

Interesting. We just drove down along lake Pepin about 2 weeks ago. Was still at least 50% covered in Ice. Must have finally got out the ice breaker.
