I can definitely understand the frustration of the course getting damaged as it is someone's personal property regardless of whether it is on a public waterway or not. I mean, there are all kinds of people that have private docks, so does that mean that someone coming up to it and defacing it whether purposefully or accidentally should just be chalked up as the cost of owning a dock? Do trotline or jug fishermen not get pissed when someone messes with their stuff? I am a duck hunter, and I know of fellow duckhunters that have their own personal blinds set up on public waterways with permission from the powers that be, and it is certainly not cool to mess with someone's blind, so I can understand someone being pissed that they always have to fix their stuff in order to use it.

Now that said, I am the kind of guy that if you are honest and let me know you want to use my stuff such as a duck blind, ski course (if I had one), I would be happy to let you as long as I met you first and you agreed to abide by my guidelines, which it sounds like most everyone on here is the same way.

Thanks for the offer Brian. We're all over the place, week nights we go to ghost. Weekends it's sylvan or little bow. Holidays it's kelowna or sandpoint.

Hell yes the skier will pull the boat off track. I jerk my 205 around with a 4 blade prop.

My advice is to meet the people that install and maintain the course. I've got a course on my lake and have spent many hours underwater maintaining and repairing arms, buoys, anchors... I've never turned anyone away from using the course and we'll throw them a few buoys to have on hand in case they pull one off or run one over.
