2012 clinic is set:
We will, again, be hosting a clinic at the Blue Moo prior to the Wisconsin open. This clinic is open to anyone, but we like to focus on the beginner to intermediate skiers, to both promote 3-event and enhance current skills. We have had awesome attendance the past two seasons, and look to fill up again. We will limit the clinic to 12 skiers, so reserve your spot now.

The clinic cost is 25.00. This includes skiing, cookout and free entry into the WI. open for any first time 3 - eventers. The date is June 29th. The clinic will begin at 8:00 am and run until 3:00. The tournament will begin following the clinic ( 3:30 -4:00)


Footnfoundatios challenge:
We are starting a new program called the FF's challenge. Basically my goal is to motivate our youth to step up and try some new tricks, starts or just something cool, on their feet.

No applications needed, just some backround on a skier (preferrably video or in person) and their goal for 2010. Make me aware of your goal prior to achieving it- set your goal - send me proof (or show me) and you will be in the running for a new BI trick handle. I will make my decision at the seasons end. Overwhelm me with success and there may be a bonus..

We have exciting/sad news about Laura!!!
At the conclusion of the 2011 season, Laura and I had made plans for her to spend her entire 2012 ski season here at FF's. People in the know know that Laura just received her degree from Castleton college , in Vermont, at the end of the 2011 school year. Her plan was to take a year off from school, train hard for 2012 worlds, then go back to grad school in the fall before her "life" journey began. Well, "life" came early for Laura. She moved back home to Michigan at the end of the 2011 ski season for a few months, then went to live in New Jersey with some friends from college until the 2012 ski season arrived. While in jersey she happened across her dream job in the field of her study and things just took off. She agonized over the decision to stay and persue the career of her dreams or work until spring and begin the training season for her hard push, for what very well could be her best, and last barefoot worlds performance. I'm both glad, and sad to announce that she has chosen to take some time off and persue her career. I personally could'nt be more proud of, and impressed by what had to be a most difficult decision. In alot of peoples minds it would be a no-brainer. But knowing how competitive Laura is and how much she loves the sport of barefoot waterskiing, I know it was extremely difficult for her. We will miss her here, for she is an awesome person, skier and training partner. We do wish her the best of luck and hope to have her back once she carves her path in life.


Last season, Laura spent the entire month of july with us and accomplished great hings on the water. She now has all 4 surface turns and is moving on to multiples. She was steadily tricking  3500 in practice and I personally saw her make her first front to front 360. Her slalom score went from 12.2 to 13.8, so she was well on her way. Our hope is that she can maintain some of that skiing while away. She has informed me that she intends to make as many trips as possible to Ct. and ski with the Piskuras' on weekends. Anyone who has her number or encounters her on facebook, please wish her well. I know she'll appreciate it, because she already misses everyone.
