Sharing the Skison’s Cheer

It’s the holiday season – Hanukkah just finished, Christmas is coming quick, New Year’s is almost here. Everyone is scrambling to wrap gifts, and their financial year. As family, friends, and supporters hit the holidays, make sure to spread the ski’son’s cheer. Here are our top recommendations.

Holiday Cards

Indiana University Bloomington shared a sneak peak of their holiday card – parents, relatives, and community members love to see you #Thriving. Show them how cute your team is with a note! You can also share a recap of the year, let them know of any apparel orders, or ask them to donate before the end of the year! (Most schools allow tax-exempt donations) Michigan State University #SentIt last week for us to receive just in time to share. 

Holiday Calendars

It’s back and better than ever. The University of Alabama Water Ski Team released their annual water ski calendar, and we all want one. For the stocking-stuffer price of $30, the calendar gives you 12 months of saucy skiers in suits…as long as you haven’t been naughty. These bad boys flew off the shelves, but team-member Sam Greenwood has a sneak peak to share.

Ski ‘Bama placed 3rd at the 2018 Connelly Skis NCWSA Nationals in San Marcos, TX. 

Holiday Apparel

What better gift for mom and dad? A shirt that helps pay for you to ski! Teams across the nation have been selling merchandise to put under the tree/menorah. With the massive support we get from family and friends, they might as well get a t-shirt. Lander University and University of Illinois had their gear posted on social media for all to see.

Holiday Gifts

This is the perfect time to ask for a new ski, vest, binding, sunglasses, or a timely wetsuit. Year-end sales are all over the place, and USA Water Ski offers lots of discounts through their sponsors.
