The Last Rubber Band Man 3rd Slalom tournament was held today at Bootsarosa in honor of David and Carol James who are moving to West Palm Beach Fl this weekend, after skiing for 20 years in Ohio. Dave is know locally as the "Rubber Band Man" because he can hold onto so much slack out of the buoys. Safe travels Dave and Carol.

Up at Glassy Waters in Newton Falls Ohio, Buckeye Buoy Tour stop number four, Pick Your Partner, went down with a cash prize on the line. The Gassy Waters site lived up to its name, with skiing conditions being very sublime. Several skiers skied personal bests. Skiers were seeded by handicap and head to head winners from the first round picked their partner for the second round from the pool of losers, then tried to advance as a team by skiing head to head against another team, all the way towards the $300 cash prize awarded to the winning pair. Dave Miller and Sam Ingram finished first, with Michael Beinhauer (a skier from Illinois who traveled here with his son Holden) and Casey Warren finishing in second. They earned $50 each. Skylar Rogers and Joan Miller got $25 each for third place, and the team of Larry Zanko and Holden Beinhauer finished in fourth place.

Tour Stop #3 at Pleasant Shores finished up with Sunday afternoon’s jumping. Slalom was held Saturday, and skiers who won their first head-to-head matchup in slalom (which was based on handicap seeding) got to drop a Plinko Puck to select their next opponent; two wins got you into the final, and two losses knocked you out. A third, rubber round, was for skiers who went 1 and 1 in the first two rounds, but there was a catch! If you wanted to ski in the rubber round to try and make the finals you had to wear a costume, and there were plenty of good one to choose from. After all the skiing the top five in slalom were: Kevin Houser, Gina Decker, Alex Lavin, Michelle Houser, and Alexis Mishler. Alexis also won trick, with Chaz Decker and Keri McClure finishing second and third respectively. The Jump podium was Chris Caldwell in first, Chaz Decker second, and Keri McCluer in third. The weather was excellent all weekend and there were 11 jumpers, 18 trickers, and 34 slalom skiers enjoying the tournament at Pleasant Shores.
