This venue is just inside the Georgia border, but a Tennessee Club. (nobody's perfect - hehe) Known for its always perfect conditions and one of the best ski sites for great scoring. This event usually sells out, so if you have not registered, do it today! They are running 2 rounds of Slalom - Trick - Jump. Good luck competitors!

There was so much excitement, crazy moments and just plain fun!
The conditions were as perfect as you could ask for! Ski Paradise did an amazing job keeping the tournament moving all week long. With 2 lakes in full operation, at any time you could see 2 of the 3 disciplines tearing it up! Lake one was devoted to Slalom while lake 2 held trick and jump skiing.

Jim Barron represents in typical fashion! 7/9/2011
Jim Barron has been around the ski circuit once or twice! You can count on his colorful personality to shine through and through! As you might image, he has not dissapointed us in that catagory.
Jim had a simple plan. To trick well, to land a safe jump then go for the gusto & slalom as many buoys as possible. While slalom proved to be tricky for many adults, he certainly excelled this weekend at the greatest venue in watersports! |
