Reunion Update!!! June 17th-19th

[Midskier]

NO problem, I expect to be arriving mid / late afternoon and I'm guessing Ron will be there about the same time........ he drives slower but starts earlier

we leave here @ 8 am and drop the dogs off, then start truck'en down

400 miles gets us there about 4ish

I expect to do beginners barefoot clinic I assume Saturday and or Sunday morning
and maintenance clinic or 2 as well.

a boat with a boom and a wakeboard works pretty good for beginners

front deeps really require a suit with padded shorts, which I will bring an extra set (size large)

My family and I will be heading back home on Monday morning 


we look forward to seeing all of you and having a great time

Wow!!!  Thanks for steppin' up Dan!!!   This whole "reunion" idea was to get together some AM Skiers and have some fun on a nice lake, etc...  Now its starting to actually look like an organized event      Guess I'm gonna need to put together a quasi-agenda or something to have at the check-in desk...

Phil & Dan,

Are either of you guys bringing a Barefoot Boom???

Sea Dog,

The reunion is this weekend Fri - Sun on KY Lake at Buchanan's Resort (actually located in TN).  The link to the Resort is posted earlier in this thread and in the other "AM Skier Reunion" threads.   If you contact them, ask for Pam, and tell her your with the American Skier Ski Boat Reunion...  maybe that'll help ya get a room, etc...  If you bring a boat and would like a covered slip ($14 a night) ask to have your boat slipped next to my mine (Joel Roberts).

Call me at (614) 886-3511 if you (or anybody else) has any questions, comments or concerns and I'll try to answer them, but NO promises             LOL!!!  See ya'all there!!!

Phil & Dan,

Yeah, I can bring ours...

[Joel]

Hopefully everyone is keeping up with this thread   

I'll have copies of the "1st Annual American Skier Reunion" AGENDA available at the front desk - it will have a basic timeline of the weekend including A.M. Skiing / P.M. Skiing, Dinner / Get-together, Dan's Barefoot Sessions, etc...

Be sure to ask for a copy when you check-in at the Resort's front desk.

Next year, Gonchuan, a.k.a. Mike Harry, is gonna do all the organizing and I'm gonna do all the drinkin'   

See ya'all there!!!   Call me if you have questions @ (614) 886-3511

It's Tuesday nite & I'm going through a shoebox of pictures to see what I think might be interesting.....I think my wife threw out the Playboy with the playmate sitting on the transom of a '79 Skier (I'll keep looking)....RonT

[Joel]

Ron,  Let me know if theres anything you need to have at the dinner.... extension cord, clean white wall, etc...  I'll see what I can do to make sure your accomodated to the best of my ability - not sure what the "Resort" has available...  I wouldnt count on too much 

Thanks!  Joel

Budweiser beach has been recommended as a good site to anchor, beach, swim, hangout, etc, with "the nicest sandy beach on the lake!"  Unfortunately, our local AM Skier guy, Keehr22, is deployed and cant make the reunion - we'll hoist a cold one to him and pray for his safe return!  I'm not sure why they call it Bud Beach, but I could hazard a guess 

I'll try to get a map of the lake to hand out, but just in case, here are the directions to the beach:  Print & bring it with you!!!

Heading out of Buchanans bay turn right (south) once you hit the big lake.  There is a long strip of land (island more or less) down the middle of the lake, stay on the west (right) side of it.  As you head south watch for the power lines crossing the lake, Budweiser beach is just short of the power lines on your left (western coast of the island).  On a nice day you'll probably spot other boats, its the best sandy beach on the lake!

Thank you for your reply. We have a wedding to go to this weekend in Traverse City, Mi so we won't be able to attend. I just found this site this week so its a little late for us this year. Hopefully next year.
I look forward to talking with everyone on this site since I have a lot to learn about my skier.
Regards, and have a fun safe weekend.
