We've gotten out the past three weekends. A little cool on the face today with 39 air/41 water temps. Might be our last day with overnight lows into the teens this week.

In-boat hot tub with cooler full of hot water is the ticket for warming up hands and feet!

Re: Season About Over

We still have another trip this week, AZ water temps still in low-mid 70's so no wetsuit required.

Nice. We gave it up quite a while ago.

Side note - how does your buddy like that sidewinder binding? I had one of the whites and got rid of it in favor of the newer black ones since the white had a nasty habit of not wanting to let go.

He likes the ease of entry but I don't think he runs it very tight. He had room in there for heavy wool socks. :)

Got another day in yesterday, water temperature starting to drop (low 70's) but no wet suit, yet. Pictures soon.

A drysuit is so awesome for extending your ski year. I love the furry hat!

Anyone make it to December?

We got out Nov. 20th, then the air temp dropped 30 degrees and the lake froze over the night of the 23rd.

Not me. I am positive my buddy Jim did. He's never missed a month in over 27 years!
