Purpose:
The "Tournament Series" is a service
provided to Mid-Valley members only. By
sharing their boats, members provide ski
opportunities for everyone. Members who ski
will be scored in a tournament-like setting. At
the end of the ski season the scores are
totaled, and awards given to most improved
male and female skiers.
Skiers and non-skiers can learn boat driving
safety, slalom judging, dock starting
procedures, and course maintenance all in a
no-pressure, low-key environment. Skiers
can receive coaching tips from other
members. Own a video camera? Bring it and
we'll do the video taping!
Fee to Ski:
Skiers shall pay $2.00 per slalom pass or
$8.00 for six consecutive passes... or three
falls. Wakeboarders shall pay $8.00 for 4
passes or 4 falls. Please pay the owner/driver
for your turns, bring fives and ones to help
make change. New to Tournament Series is
paying by check. Make checks out to
MVWSC. Boat owner/driver or one person in
their family shall ski for free. Owner/driver
receives $60.00 for gas and expenses.
Owner/driver reimbursement shall be $15.00
if there are poor ski conditions, low lake level,
or no skiers.
Safety Rules:
An observer/swimmer must be in the boat at
all times. They must be qualified to assist an
