West of Toledo, exit 13 on the toll road. I grew up on Merry Lake in southern Michigan 3 miles north of the Ohio line. My wife grew up on Lake Gauge near Orland Indiana. We just picked up a Cottage on Crooked Lake last fall so we are back on the water after a 10 year stint in the corn Field. Luckily we kept both boats stored in the shed, My 75 Mustang and her 68 283SS Wood Chris that I'm restoring right now.

Very nice Sean. Nice car too.
Where is Holiday City? I am from the Cleveland area before we went south for the weather. Just bought a Mendoza in mint condition with the original white bindings (thanks cat for the toe strap) off e-bay for about 40 bucks. Love them old Mendozas. john |

I still have my little monster and my d*ck pope jr III's. The boys are learning on them. My oldest just graduated to the monster last weekend.
I used the old super groove skis in my new railing. I'll link up the pics when I get a chance. I did not want to give them up but this way they are close by. |

Love them! Mount them to your living room wall. A great conversation piece and your wife will love the way they look!

I still have our old CG skis of vintage between those two, with two Jobe 'High wrap' plates mounted..
Used to get lots of jokes like "why don't you get some skis for those bindings!" |

Ah, Cypress Gardens skis bring back some memories, my first slalom ski was a Cypress Gardens Lil' Monster. My first hi performance ski was a Cypress Gardens Tech 1 with a aluminum top.

My dad skied in tournaments on these in the 60's. Alfredo Mendoza El Specials. Notice the aluminum brace across the top on one. Minor repair, keep on rockin'. And the branded logo. My dad actually added the white tub strips for better traction. Think these bindings feel very good cutting into your ankles.
