    Members needed

    HELP! We need members. We ski at a private lake approx 20 northeast of Columbus, Ohio. Last summer we had 7 members but only 5 skied much. One member took time off for injuries and another was too busy (hard to believe). We may possibly have only 4 members next summer and would like to add 2 or 3 others. The lake is fairly well protected with very little backwash. It's about 1700 ft long so doesn't sit well for footing and boarding is frowned on because of erosion. Costs are reasonable, there's no club boat, members each have one. Our talents range from 15off to 32+off. If anyone ski's in the area and is interested please contact us. Addresses are below.

    Also, any ideas for spreading the word to possible members with such a small target group?

    Thanks, Tim

    Just curious but how exactly does slalom cause less erosion than wakeboarding ?? Wouldn't the higher boat speed cause more erosion ??

      the larger wakes produced from wakeboarding and surfing are what people get upset with. ive seen more than a few pissed off fisherman when a surf wave **** near flips thier little fishing boat from hundreds of yards away.

          If it's a private Lake then why does it matter what you do????
          If you don\'t do it today, you will be one day older when you do!!

              OK, I'll be honest. We don't want wakeboarders.

                No offense meant by the last post but we are a small club with an interest in slalom skiing, not boarding. A wakeboard boat with it's ballast filled at 18mph would destroy the lakes shoreshore line in less than a summer. It is a private lake but we lease it, not own it. If the owners happy, we're happy.

                  maybe not your cup of tea, but 32 off is not weak.

                    I'm not knocking skiing at all so I'll just leave my comments at that.

                      Too bad I don't know any slalom types or I'd pass the word along. You located somewhere around Newark?

                        In Alexandria (Licking County), about 10 miles east of New Albany. We have 4 or 5 interested skiers so things look promising that we will end up with a couple capatible members.
