2012 Five Seasons Ski Team Program

Around The Boat In this act multiple skiers ski completely around the boat. The skiers all wear helmets and floatation in case of an accident. They start the act lined up so that the skier with the longest rope is to the right. As the skiers progress around the boat the skiers with the shorter ropes pass under the longer ropes. When the skiers finish the act the skier with the shortest rope is to the right. If a skier on a short rope should fall during this act the helmet will help prevent injury should a skier on a longer rope hit him. The skiers on the longer ropes must always be alert in case another skier should fall so they can avoid hitting them. The boat driver must also be very alert for the skiers safety. If a skier should fall in front of the boat the driver must instantly kill the motors to avoid running over the skier or his rope.
