Just sent them an email about the rental skis.  I will let you know when I hear back.  Looks like a pretty sick place tho, definitely going to have to check it out this summer.

I know a few people that go there and a couple that work there, I'll see if I can get word on what the set up is like.

i went last night.. it was very cool.. its was pretty different than behind a boat for me.. i havent ever hit a slider or ridden a cable... so i spent most of my laps getting used to it.. I tried a box but i was pretty spent by then and didnt give it 100% ...

the setup is pretty nice, on the start they have a up-flat-up (10-20-10) box, a super beginner flat box (35), a trapezoid box (with a shorter but super wide trapazoid box/wallride attached (alot like something you would see in a skatepark) then its two corners you can swing out on if you know what your doing ( i did not).. the next straightaway has two pretty big kickers one flat, the other concave, this leads into a up-flat box(higher and longer than beginner box, then two more corners that the good people were rocking big raleys, backrolls, scarecrows etc out of..

i went on a wed night and it wasnt too bad at all.. but if there was a big crowd i can definately see it taking a little while to get on the cable.. generally they dont kick you off.. you just go till you fall or get tired.. and only 6 people on the cable at a time so if 5 or 6 good people get on they might not fall for 10 minutes.. takes a while to cycle through..
