Yay waterskiing!!!!! I sadly did not get to waterski at all last year so I was wildly excited when friends announced they were renting a houseboat for a 50th birthday and had two ski boats available! It is around a 6 hour drive from Basalt to Bullfrog (about 6.5 from Aspen). The water was warmer than I expected – nice surprise. The lake seemed lower than I would have thought… There were hardly any people there which really was surprising. The staff at Bullfrog were super helpful and friendly and we all got some great time in on the water 🙂 🙂
