Norris Lake Slalom Course?

[NorrisMike]

Anyone know of a course up on Norris TN? I'd like to get back into it.

I know of one on Douglas but not Norris.

On Norris, the ski club listed above has a course on Big Creek, which is near Sequoyah Marina. Almost anyone at that Marina can point you to it. There is also a privately owned course on Cove Creek, which is near Twin Cove Marina. Both of these are on the lower/dam end of the lake. I am not sure what may be on the upper end, as I don't spend much time there.

Pulled from MC team talk. Also a Norris website referenced two courses hope they are still up Mike.

We maintain a slalom course up Big Creek on Norris Lake for Skiers of Knoxville.  Coming up Big Creek from Sequoyah Marina, its the first cove on left after coming under the power wires.  We keep it in good shape to ski from May-Oct.  Can visit our FB group page at Big Creek Slalom.  Hope you enjoy the course!

@RichC - Kudo's to you for posting an invite to use a course you spend time maintaining, very courteous of you to post.  Thx and many happy rounded buoys to you.

RichC - Thanks for doing this. It's a favorite cove of ours to anchor and enjoy the lake. If we're lucky, a boat shows up and gives us a free slalom show. It's a shame that more often it's a couple of idiots on jetskis tearing up your course unchecked for several runs. I've recently figured out how easy it is to run voice memos thru my tower speakers. That won't happen again when I'm there!
