We will host one of the stops of the Vern Oberg Legacy Fund Rec Tour Stops, featuring our young up-and-coming kids as they compete in a mini-course event.
Saturday afternoon is the Prelims for the Overall Skiers and the top 6 Men and 4 Women will qualify to compete in the FINALS on Sunday.
SUNDAY
Sunday will be a full day starting with the 2nd Round of Slalom for our LCQ skiers followed by the 2nd Round of Jump for our LCQ Skiers. From there we move into some Slalom featuring some of our best overall skiers followed by the Silver Slalom Finalists.
The highlight of the weekend is the Red Bull Finals which will feature the Top 6 Men and the Top 4 Women as they compete to be the Overall Winner of this Stop # 2 on the Overall Tour. They will look to claim the top spot, pick up a pay cheque and earn points toward the Tour Championship.
The event will be a LIVE webcast, so if you cannot be on-site, you can take part in watching the best overall skiers compete. This is the main event and will be a three-hour amazing show. If you wish to be site and watch this great event unfold, the committee is selling VIP tickets to the event, where you can watch under the tents, mingle with the athletes, get fed and have some drinks along the shoreline.
The evening on-site will feature the award ceremony of the Overall Tour and slalom champions. We will celebrate the 25 years of Predator Bay Water Ski Club and just hang out with our water ski friends for the evening.
We look forward to many of our friends competing in this event and also celebrating our 25-year history and of course, watching the World’s Best Overall Skiers compete!
