Public Skiing or Lessons
Water skiing on the tranquil waters of Shalom Park is an experience you must try whether you are a beginner or advanced skier or perhaps you don’t ski at all.
Love for the sport and a desire to share the experience with anyone means that Shalom Park provides opportunity to everyone.
If you want lessons, Ken Nelson, many times a National Champion and holder of several National Records, will coach you at any level and provide guidance to help you improve. Lessons cost $60 per run.
If you want to go for a ski with out an instructor and maybe even try the slalom course the rates are $40 per run.
Shalom Park has developed a beginner program for kids as young as 6 years of age - New Kids on the Water. This is a half day program for first time or very beginner kids 6 – 11 years of age. Participants will learn to water ski under the supervision of the Shalom Park Water Ski Club.
The program begins with a video on water ski safety and communication (hand signals). We allow a maximum of 12 children in any program. The fee is still only $40 and includes a hot dog lunch as well as the use of our wetsuits, lifejackets and skis.
The New Kids on the Water program is scheduled each year on the first weekend in JUNE with sessions both days in the morning and the afternoon. The REGISTRATION FORM may be copied and mailed in with your payment.
