At our last show of the year this past weekend, 11-year old Rock made his first heli off the ramp. He’s been jumping for a couple years and has tried the heli only a handful of times. Here’s the footage…

High Water Pictures

Throughout south-central Wisconsin, as everyone is aware, their has been some dramatic effects after the torrential rains. For Mad-City, and Madison as a whole, we have been “lucky” to be spared some of the real brutal flooding issues that others in the state have faced.

However, the flooding does impact us as well and for the time being we will not be able to perform our shows for you. Continue to check our front page on a daily basis for updates.

Jims Photos took a variety of pictures that he has posted, link, and it shows the effects of the flooding on our ski site as well as a couple other candid shots from around the area

Well, here we are again. Much like the end of last summer, the Mad-City Ski Team faces high water and flooding that put our season on temporary hiatus.

After the torrential rains of the weekend the lake level rose and the City of Madison decided that it was in the best interest of all parties involved to make Lake Monona, Mendota, Wingra and Waubesa slow-no-wake zones. Its frustrating for us because we are excited to be on the water and shape our show into what is shaping up to be one of our best ever.

However, mother nature and common sense are playing a part here in this situation, we don’t want any detrimental shore-line problems or any other issues that come along high water.

We have just completed our second annual Clean Lakes Festival which was also prematury ended due to weather, so, the Mad-City Ski Team is keenly aware of the hazards and fragile nature of our cities eco-system.

We would be remiss if we didn’t mention our friends in the Wisconsin Dells, the Tommy Bartlett Ski Show, as many people may have heard, there was a catastrophic dam breach which caused Lake Delton to essentially be emptied, thus causing the end of the Tommy Bartlett Ski Show for the year, and who knows how long it will take to refill a lake.

Our thoughts go out to our show-ski family and hope that all is well with our friends to the north.

Fingers crossed that mother natures shines on us all soon!!

Despite the threat of rain, chilly weather and rough water conditions the Mad-City Ski Team kicked off our 2008 season on a positive note May 25th at Law Park.

Following last seasons dissapointing end to the season, that saw torrential rains and flooding put a premature end to our year, we were all ancy to get back on the water, in front of a very nice crowd, and begin our summer long journey to provide great entertainment!!
