Winter waterskiing?

[Cascade]

Has anyone else seen this video of a group of guys freezing? All for the love of glass water and no jetskis.

We used to ski on New Years Day in St Paul, MN. The Bald Eagle WaterSki club takes a boat down below the Ford Dam and Hidden Falls Park. On colder years they bring a chainsaw to cut the 20-40 feet of ice away from the launch so they can get a boat in. i have Air Chaired, skied, and kneeboarded the event. A lot of the actual club members foot it. I haven't been in a few years, but most years it was pretty tolerable. Worst year was like -20*F, short run, stick your feet and hands in a cooler of hot water, and then go sit by a fire for a while. Crazy vid.

I am the reindeer at the bottom right of the first picture on the main screen. Last year there was ice in the harbor plus someone didnt zip my dry suit up all the way. Bit chilly.

Wow that looks like fun. They might want to practice their dock starts a little more in the summer though.
