Hopefully everyone had a safe trip back from Green Lake this past week.

Like the title says, is anyone aware of a slalom course in Northern NJ. I know there is not one on lake Hopatcong and I would guess there is not one on Greenwood Lake either.

Does anyone know of any or a website that would have a list of them?

I haven't found one yet...have done a lot of web searching. I would also greatly appreciate it if anyone knows if there are any courses around here. Hopefully headed over to check out Greenwood one night this week, but I haven't seen anything advertising a course there.

76- If you let me know what night you are going out there I could either meet you out there with my boat or you could hop on board mine if you wanted to get in a ski.

Ive been looking for people who ski often and haven't been able to find anyone thats willing to put in the time to ski outside of weekends when the lake is super rough.

I could definitely be up for that - I have Sundays and Mondays off and have been looking for someone to ski/wakeboard with. My wife will go and drive the boat, but we have no spotter. I imagine the lake is super rough on the weekends so not much appeal there. Since I have the day off every Monday I could even make a Monday AM thing work - got to imagine it is pretty flat out then. Let me know if you are interested. Would definitely be up for my boat or yours...we are about 45 mins away, on other weeknights the earliest I could make it would probably be around 7pm if that could work for you.

Took the Tique to Greenwood this morning - got out on the water at 7am and it was pretty nice and glassy. By 10 am the good water was gone and we broke out the tube for a while. Still a good session - hopefully posting some video links soon of our beginner efforts at wakeboarding. I would definitely be up for going on a Monday if anyone's interested.

I wish I could join you Mondays but I work Mondays.

I talked to some other skiiers on lake Hopatcong and on greenwood lake and they said that one of the only lakes in the area with a course is lake Mohawk which is a private lake with a gate in order to use the ramp. I heard Hopatcong might be getting one in front of a new house that's being built for the owner of the lakes Malibu dealership. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

That's great that Hopatcong may be getting a course - I have some friends with a boathouse and dock on the lake there...maybe I can bum their dock for a few weekends...

Anyway, if you're interested in doing anything Monday evenings I would definitely be up for that...most other nights unfortunately by the time I get out of work, probably too late to get out on the lake (can't get to the lake until after 7). I'd love to check out your boat, that speedo shot looks like it blows away my little old Tique :-)

I could be to Greenwood lake by 6 on Mondays after I get done with work. I know the owner and some people who work at Greenwood lake marina so I could put in there. Let me know when you head out some Monday, probably not tomorrow, and I'll get my stuff together and come out

Some video of last Sunday behind the Tique...beginner efforts at wakeboarding.

We'll be back out this Sunday AM on Greenwood, early!

I would be interested in getting out this Monday evening too...

Lonestar- If you ever need a 3rd let me know. I live in West Milford and work on Lake Hopatcong so its not a far ride to Mohawk We actually have a few customers on lake Mohawk.

Also if you wanna hook up a fellow ccf member with a lake mohawk sticker thats cool too!

Offshorejay- WELCOME! You just made your first post into one of the greatest boat websites ever created!

I thought there was a course out on budd lake but never was able to confirm it. Glad to know that there is a course available in NJ on a private lake!

Now budd lake is pretty shallow isn't it?

yes the lake is shallow. There are a few places to watch for. the 196 does not draft very deep, so I never really run into any issues. We will have to hook up in the spring for a run of the lake

Ya we will have to hit up the lake at some point in the spring. I have been looking for a skiing partner near where I work who is a fan of skiing the course.
