Members are reminded that we are guests and must come off the lake if skiers (paying customers) arrive, and are asked to keep the site clean. NOTE: In order to prevent the possibility of contaminating the Ski-Pitz water, please ensure that if your boat and/or motor has run last fall, please flush your motor and/or boat with a weak solution of Javex bleach. This will kill any zebra muscle eggs. Due to some poor weather at other Ski-Pitz meets, don't forget to bring your rain gear. Come early, as this meet has been known to wrap up early due to bad weather. Members are asked to keep the site clean and note: during the last meet, damage was done to the launch area due to a boat being launched by a two-wheel drive truck. At this and any future meets at this location, only 4 wheel drive vehicles are allowed to launch boats!
