New Water Ski Course Exemption Rule!

UWSC Members,

See below for the new water ski course exemption rule that is proposed to be included in the official Utah State Boating Laws and Rules. http://static.stateparks.utah.gov/docs/BoatingCode.pdf
The only real change that was not included in the Water Ski Amendments (Senate Bill 84) that was passed in the spring is the addition of required Utah Water Ski Club active membership documentation onboard. This is a reminder to keep your membership card and government issued ID with you when skiing the clubs course if you want to be exempt. The UWSC Board still strongly encourages all members to use a coast guard approved vest, observer, and flag when skiing in the clubs course.

Happy Holidays!

UWSC Board

UWSC October News - Changes

UWSC Members,

As we wind down the year we wanted to make you aware of a few changes for next year.

-When you renew your USA Water Ski membership you now have the option of choosing ACTIVE membership for $80 or supporting member for $35. If you even think you will be skiing tournaments in 2013 please sign up as a ACTIVE membership which gives you these benefits http://www.usawaterski.org/graphics/downloads/membershipbenefits.pdf The main benefit is secondary personal Injury Insurance of $10,000 when participating in USA Water Ski-sanctioned events. In the past we were able to sanction club practices but in order for us to do that in the future we have to have a rated driver pulling every member which is just not possible for most members. Starting in 2013 club practices will no longer be sanction so you will not have secondary insurance, you will still have insurance as a ACTIVE member when you ski in tournaments. The board feels that USA Water Ski is still worth supporting which is why we still require members to be at least a supporting member. Go to http://www.usawaterski.org/pages/What%20is%20USA-WS.htm to learn about what USA Water Ski does with its money.

-Starting in 2013 you will be able to renew your club membership on-line or by e-mail and pay with PayPal. This is something the board is still working on but you can see what we have so far at http://utahwaterski.blogspot.com/p/members.html Reminder that membership dues are due by March 31st or you will be dropped from the club! The club is going to be very strict with this March 31st deadline in the future which is only fair to the Membership VP. Having the membership VP and other board members continually calling and e-mailing a few late members every spring is a real pain and waste of time.

-The club does keep track of who participates in the clubs Adopt-a-Park service projects every year. A reminder that it is required that you attend one of the two projects every year or go down on your own, sign in with the state park, and ask what you can do. As of now the club is not kicking people out or charging fees for those that don't attend at least one of these two Adopt-a-Park service project but it is something that gets talked about and may need to be implemented in the future.

-For those of you still skiing course #3 is still very shallow but the water is finally coming back up. When skiing course #3 make sure the boat and the skier are always in-line with the course when you start. Typically we ski course #3 until the water drops to -3.00, go to http://water1.cuwcd.com/reservoirs/ResInfo.aspx?res=ulake to see the current lake level and make sure you look on calm days since wind causes wrong readings.

Happy Skiing!

September News - Adopt-a-Park service project

UWSC Members,

The second Adopt-a-Park service project of the year is this Saturday September 15th, meeting at 10am in-front of the main building and will be picking up trash for no more than one hour. The club has two adopt-a-park service projects every year on the third Saturday in May and the third Saturday in September. Members are required to attend at least one adopt-a-park service project every year, expecting a big turn out since we only had about 20 members in May. If you are unable to attend one of the two scheduled service projects you can still go down to Utah Lake State Park on your own, sign in at the office under the Utah Water Ski Club and ask what you can do. The service projects are a great way for the club to give back to the Utah Lake State Park and is also a great way for club members, family, friends, and wait list members to get to know each other.

Thanks to all of the members who participated in the Utah State Championships (Keith Morgan, John Lohner, Vickie Smoot, John/Dana/Shaela Adams, Mike/Tyler/Josh Nelson, Kelly/Scot/Matt Chipman, Mark Chilcutt, Darin Mercer, and Tim Peterson). Go to http://utahwaterski.blogspot.com/p/photosvideos-of-members.html for a picture and video of Shaela Adams skiing a tournament PB.

Course #3 is getting very shallow! When skiing course #3 make sure the boat and the skier are always in-line with the course when you start. Typically we ski course #3 until the water drops to -3.00, we are getting very close. To see the current level go to http://water1.cuwcd.com/reservoirs/ResInfo.aspx?res=ulake

Happy Skiing!

Utah State Championships Information

Go to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ail7AR5Avs_fdHFMRW5LT1Y3WGhpdVZ1Wlg3Q0hmbVE for the Utah State Championships running order and assignments. As always, there could be a few changes.  If you have any assignment change requests, e-mail lliddell2011@gmail.com or check with Jeff Milford on Saturday morning. 

As you can see we have a full tournament and then some.  We will be starting right at 9:00 am with novice.  If we have any novice skiers who add, they will be skiing before 9:00 am.  Round 2 will start again with novice and then Group 2, Group 3....

We will need skiers, judges, drivers, scorers and dock starters to be ready to go and in place before the end of the previous group.  Also, if you are the first or second skier in a group, be ready at the dock as the last skiers are finishing in the group before.  This will be critical to get all the ski rides done before dark.

We will be using a 50 second wait time at the ends of the lake.  That give you plenty of time for the water to settle, to catch your breath or chat with the boat.  The drivers will be holding pretty close to that so we can finish and with the best conditions possible for all skiers.

If you have not signed a SunTen Lake Waver, we will need one signed before you practice on Friday or ski in the tournament on Saturday.  Will will have a list of skiers who we need wavers from on the dock and the wavers.   

The Goode State Championships medal presentations will be at the end of the tournament. 

Thanks in advance for skiing and helping with the tournament.  See you on Saturday morning! 

Thanks,

Laurie

The club is now recommending to only use course #3 at the south end of Provo Bay, it is not recommended to ski course #1 by the airport when the water drops below -1.25. Go to http://water1.cuwcd.com/reservoirs/ResInfo.aspx?res=ulake for the current lake level. Go to https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1hXM2G1IzyJzmwaIxIt24VdNwOcfba3oJFqd-pnTuP7I/edit?pli=1 for a map to the club courses.

Happy skiing!

June News

Course #3 on the south end of Provo Bay (mud lake) is up and running thanks to Tim Peterson, Dan Johnson, Scot&Kelly Chipman. Remember when skiing the clubs courses make sure all buoys are in place BEFORE you ski, also when you are finished make sure the course is properly set up. Everything you need to fix the course is in the dock box, if you need instruction on how to properly set up buoys contact Tim Peterson (801) 652-0089 waterskinude@yahoo.com. If you need a key (same key for the last 7+ years) to get into the dock box please contact Garn Arnold garnski@yahoo.com.

Course #1 by the airport is getting shallow and will likely be too shallow to ski around July 1st, we normally ski course #1 until the water level drops to -1.25. To see the current Utah Lake level go to http://utahwaterski.blogspot.com/p/other-links.html and look under lake levels.
