Course # 1 work project.

Club members!
This is exciting!
The Utah Water Ski Club maintains three locations for slalom courses on Utah Lake with accessibility being dictated by water levels. In recent years, because of low water, we have been skiing Course #3 which has limited protection from the wind/other boats, but there is a course located just South of the Provo airport that has absolutely ideal protection on all sides. The last time this course was skiable was 2013 but now, with water levels high, we can finally get into Course #1 again! Those of you who have been in the club long enough know the dream it is to ski Course #1.
The club would like to call on the help of the members to find the existing buoy anchors and begin the process of reviving that location. We’ll plan to meet at the Provo harbor, North ramps next Saturday, June 29th @ 9:00 AM, drive to Course #1, scatter as many of us as can make it across the course, and spend some time digging in the mud. We have GPS locations of all the buoys so it should be a coordinated effort but it has been over a decade since this area has been accessible so we aren’t exactly sure what to expect.
If you are able to attend please text Nate Allen (801) 884-8809 so we can anticipate what to arrange for boats.
Note: Access by car on the airport dike road has been restricted by airport security so no one will be able to drive directly to the course by car as we could in the past.
Happy Skiing!!

Annual Meeting

Hey Everyone,


Just one last reminder about our club meeting on February 1st.  It will start at 6:00 pm in room 200D at the Boat Show in Sandy.  Please plan on attending.  It is going to be a good meeting and we want everyone in the club to attend.  We will be talking about what is going to be happening in the club this coming year, we'll elect any new board members, and we will have a couple of guest presenters.  You will also receive two passes to get into the Boat Show if you have paid your yearly dues for 2024.

If anyone would like to serve on the board, definitely come to the meeting.  This is where new board members are chosen/voted for.  For an incentive, board members do not have to pay the yearly dues.

Also, so far only about half of you have paid your dues for the year.  Please do that RIGHT NOW while you are thinking about it.  You can pay your dues using Venmo at this link on the club's website: https://utahwaterski.blogspot.com/p/members.html

You will also need to print out a membership form, fill it out, and then email it back to me.  The form is found on that same link.  I WILL NOT BE BRINGING MEMBERSHIP FORMS TO THE MEETING!  (I think you all heard me).   And you will only get the two free passes to the show if you have paid your dues and come to the meeting.  So take care of it right now.

Let me know if you have any questions.
