what do you think about pulling skiier from the tower? is it ok?

[da.bell]

Pulling a skiier from the tower shouldn't be an issue IMO. No difference than pulling a boarder... Now a tube on the other hand should be a no-no...

I was thinking the initial pull would be more than a wakeboarder

We have always pulled skiers from the tower, have never had an issue with it yet and hope that we don't ever have any issues with it.

For recreatoin it shouldnt be a problem. But for a competition skier, I definately would not.

We pull newbies from the tower all the time, easier for them to get up. Once they progress they usually want to go to the pylon.

I would think the force put on the tower would be greater from a skier cutting than a wakeboarder cut.

Great shots and scenery. I think it looks great.

I assume your vacation sas a blast.

It is neat that the family is into slalom skiing. Slalom skiing is holding ir's own where we go but is wakeboarding is taking it's place.

I love the shot of DJ in the water just behind the platform. You can tell a lot from that smile.

Thanks for posting.
