Sounds totally fun. I've never done either. Both my parents and in-laws have boats, but I've never been a boat-y person. Actually, I don't think either of their boats is ski-worthy.
Snow was ok. Hardpack with a skiff of new snow on top. Kept snowing all day. My MEC snow pants are NOT waterproof. Need to get my edges sharpened. I tried a few weeks ago, but the machine at Sport Chek broke, so they were never tuned up. You ski, Russ?
