Introducing Your Friday Night Flight Skiers

Tri-Lakes Ski Team News

We are happy to announce that this year, in the midst of the Syndicate Waterskis 2021 NCWSA Collegiate Nationals, Tri-Lakes is hosting a night jump event: Friday Night Flight, Presented by the City of Zachary.

Friday Night Flight will take place on Friday, October 22nd starting at 7:30 pm. This event is a big show, with 15 collegiate alumni taking to the water to represent their alma mater and region.

Buses will be available to pick up spectators from the Crowne Plaza host hotel to transport them to Tri-Lakes. Once they arrive, the show will begin with a display of barefooting, show skiing, and a towboat intro before the women’s skiers take to the water.

During the event, there will be beverages for purchase, served by the Zachary Rotary Club in association with the Mockler Beverage Company to those who are over 21 years of age.

After the night jump event, The Southern Angels will perform for everyone to enjoy before the buses take everyone back to the Crowne Plaza.

Transportation via buses has been sponsored by OJ Props, and the whole event is sponsored by the City of Zachary. We also want to give special recognition to DMI Contractors Inc. for providing us with lighting for the night jump event.
