If I waited for 73F water I would never get the boat in the water...lol

Too funny! Talk about different realities, wow.

Congrats on getting the rides fired up bgkchild. I'm guessing you were out yesterday since the temp hit 80. Hoping to start my season in two weeks.

Huh. I rode 3+ feet of powder yesterday. It was dumping another inch every hour we were there. Literally too much snow. Looks like we will be able to ride into May and maybe even June around here. Thirty foot of snow tends to last a while. Maybe we can hook up the double this year. Surf the mountain in the morning and the surf the lake in the afternoon. My buddy keeps his boat basically across the street from Homewood Resort.

We haven't been out yet, but not because of weather, supposed to be in the 80's here this week. Been busy with moving, family from out of town visiting, getting a new truck, etc. I hope to get the boat to the shop in the next few weeks to get serviced.

I went again yesterday, even took the kids. 77 and sunny felt great getting out of 50 degree water. Didn't bother my 8 year old son tubing. Hope to find a youth wakeboard this year.
73 degree water you don't even need a wetsuit what are you waiting for?lol
I went to Lake of the Ozarks and we go to truman alot. Would like to make it down to Table Rock sometime.

I went yesterday and the air temp was 72 and water temp was 60. It was cloudy but I went anyway. I am glad I did. I have been waiting since December to get a pull from my new ride. Had a blast and my wake is nice. Just got the boat in December so I was dying to get out. Glad my old wetsuits fit.... 73 degrees? What are you waiting for?

I agree i don't break out the wetsuit unless the water is 68 degrees or cooler.I use a heater shirt from 68 to 74 degrees.Above that it's tanning weather.

We only own shorties, and they get used below 77F water temperature. In 5 more weeks Lake Tarpon will be 77F, just enough time to work on boat stereo upgrades and new graphics.

Then you can enjoy the sights [your new graphics]and the sounds[your stereo upgrade]as well as the warmer water.ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!

If I had 3 feet of powder and a mountain I woundn't be complaining. Went to Keystone for the first time in feb. had a blast hitting the slopes. Going down a mountian in the morning and hitting the lake in the afternoon sounds perfect to me!!!

No complaints here. Especially when all of our basins are already over 150% of average snowpack. 600" = 50' of snow! We rode Northstar on Tues. and hit little powder stashes everywhere, two days after a storm. Some areas couldn't even be accessed due to the lifts being buried. It's dumping right now as a matter of fact. All of our lakes will be full full full.

It has been storm after storm after storm around here. Click animate at the top of the map and watch Tahoe.
