Show Skiing

Do you know what Show Skiing is? Well first of all it is water skiing done with clubs all over America. Usually there are no tryouts and the older skiers train the younger ones. There is jumping over a ramp, barefoot, pyramids, doubles, triples and more. There is a theme determined by the show director to make it more interesting to watch. Teams perform free all over the US then also compete in their respective states and some go to Nationals.

Our grandson skis for the Plum Lake Ski-ters in Saynor Wisconsin. This year they placed fifth at State which qualified them for Nationals which was today. We will hear soon how they placed. I watched the show in Saynor, State and Nationals. Today I was thinking of all the different events I had watched our children in and now i am watching yet another sporting event. I'm proud of these kids, not only are they competing but also performing a community service with their local shows. They spend their summers rehearsing and performing, developing skills which will aid them all thru life and having fun doing it all.
