What Do Y'all Do In the Winter???

[Coach Mike]

That's been an easy answer for the past 24 years as I coach hockey. This year my youngest son is off to college and will be playing. So I'll hang it up and we'll travel to watch him play, so still going to be busy but different being in the stands instead of on the bench. Not sure I'm ready for that but I guess I'll adjust and look forward to next Summer when that hits.

You can coach from the stands.... Parents "TRY" to do it all of the time. I try to steer clear of the screamers that try to coach their kids from the stands. I personally am an internal screamer and every now and then something flies out of my mouth that is completely unexpected. Hockey is the greatest sport. I love watching the kids play.

I forgot to add hunting. We bought the 2, 14 yr olds 30.06's this year and we will be hunting on private land where I grew up in Hobson, MT.

My wife may or may not be looking forward to showing me her side since I started coaching way back when. The few times I did watch games up there it is always wierd for me and I don't like watching how parents behave ... or should I say misbehave.

I call skyskier and beg for keys to the heated lake.

Used to ride year round in Seattle. It was never cold enough to keep us off the lake for more than a couple weeks.

Then we moved to the Spokane / Coeur d'Alene area. The lake gets kinda hard in the winter around here.

Oh really? I LOVE Coeur d'alene. We are heading down there this coming weekend for a few days.

I snowboard, and will be trying some sledding this year!

Park the BU Thanksgiving weekend then. Bass fishing all winter I make the most of my launch passes:Thumbup:

Bet the lake was gorgeous today. We'll be out all day Sunday. Stop by & say hello if you see a 23' XTI & an 09 Vride full of foils.

[shawndoggy]

Why snowboarding, of course!

[Baddog]

Snow shoeing when not snowmobiling. Of course I don't know how much of that I will get in Cincy.

[areamike]

As long as the lake is not froze completely over, we ski all year long here.

I think I posted this somewhere else on here. MasterCraft Icebreaker Edition. Only a fool MC owner would do something like this.

[martinarcher]

What the heck? Is he busting up the ice and then skiing over the chunks? That's nuts!

That looks like a blast! What motors are in those babies? They sound like they are high revving little buggers!

He was actually busting a path in the ice to get to my dock. We had clear water out in the channel with no floaters around.

Take care of the laundry list of stuff that didn't get done over the summer and let me tell you it's LONG this year...

[Bobby Light]

Everything I neglect all summer long.

Not sure where I found this, but I thought it was fitting....

Thats classic. I want that as wallpaper. On a side note, this winter I am going to invent a product that will turn the watersports industry on its head

What is the nature of this product that the crew can look forward to using in the future?

It's Diamond Lake, WA. Like 4 yrs ago. JT & his buddies decided to uncover it & have some fun taking pictures. I put them up & they keep coming back year after year.

The engine was toast. Took like $2k to rebuild it & they used it the following summer. No hull damage at all.

[WakingMeHappy]

That is officially NUTS!
