Wade Cox Ski Lessons – Skier 1 – July 25th, 9:30AM

This event is being organized by the Lake Norman Ski Club.  While being a member is NOT required to participate in this event, we ask that you consider joining the club to help us organize and host more events like this one and to maintain all our slalom courses in the Lake Norman area.  Joining the club will ensure you receive all club announcements and allow you to join us for our practice sessions throughout the summer on Tuesday nights.

Each skier is expected to be in the water and ready to ski at their allotted timeslot, so please plan appropriately.  Each timeslot is 20 minutes which should provide ample time for pre/post set instruction as well as 6 passes.  To ensure the best water available for each skier, the ferry boat will not be shuttling every rider to/from the dock, please plan for 1-2 hours from departure from the dock to arrival back at the dock.  We will be providing detailed day of event logistics closer to June 1st.

We are planning on 20 minutes per set, throughout the day and will do our best at keeping to that schedule.  We may start a few minutes earlier or later depending on how the day shapes up.  We are not a ski school and it’s been a long time since the club has done something like this, it will not run perfectly.  We will ensure that if you’ve signed up and were reasonably available for your timeslot, you will not lose your slot.
