Oh man this has been a life long dream to go to Ski Paradise and ski on the best water with the best skiers and look forward to the most delish' meals every evening. This is so talked about from Art and Angie to the newest Pro's and newest skiers. Who ever wins will have the time of their lives
When my husband and I got married we wanted our honeymoon to be at Ski Paradise. However, because of the economy we haven't been able to go and for that matter even on any type of honeymoon! It's been three years and we know we'll get there but who knows when. We are ski junkies so when it does happen it is going to be some honeymoon!! We have friends that have gone and have loved it. We are keeping our fingers crossed and skis ready :). Jane and Ross
Find a way to save up and go! This is one amazing vacation!
No glorious story to tell - just need a break and skiing is it. Umm, pretty please?
Wow! Being from Brazil I don't get much time in the water, so going to Ski Paradise is the real dream for a gal like me……………
Crossing my fingers and praying……………
Good luck to all!

Are you kidding…the last time I was at ski school was in '76 and '77.
I was the first place winner in women's jumping for 2 years and second in slalom those years.
Still get up and ski at 6am 3-4 days a week before work. Have a Goode SL ski and just broke my ankle skiing in August. Still in a cast and 3 screws and 2 pins later I cannot wait to get out there again!!!
I want to win so I can ski with Gordan again. It's been about 20 years. See you soon. Greg Corliss
Are you Greg of Clorise and Greg from Washing ton?

would never be able to afford this kind of trip otherwise - doubt I deserve it anymore than anyone else either, but it would be an absolute dream come true.
my wife needs a break, send me away.
How about opening the contest to NON-US residents…..ie Canadians etc. Oddly enough we like to ski too!
Why only US residents? Besides the Canadian there are also some Swiss that like to ski!
Gordon insists that he personally sucks your toes after a grueling day on the water???
Canadian's love to ski too..
My family and I have a history in Barefoot waterskiing, but since I bought a Monza last year , I am having
just as much fun slalom skiing.
I'm sure it would be a great time.
I just went to watch the Pro tour at Albert Dyke Park in Sept.
Met most of the skiers , got their autographs.
Had a great time talking to them.
It would make my day to be able to ski with them and get some tips as well.

THis would seriously make my dream come true. I use to work at Lake Shasta and went skiing everyday even on my lunch break, but i've always wanted lessons from experts. This has been on my christmas wish list for years, maybe this will be my year:)
My husband put a waterski trip together with all our friends for Costa Rica. It will be great, but I wanted to go to Gordon's place. Maybe this way I can still go to Gordon's and convince my hubby that next year we take all the friends to Gordon's.
I am presently unemployed. Winning this trip would make my dreams come true. Waterskiing is one of the best things that has ever happened in my life. It is my life long dream to ski at Ski Paradise. I am keeping my fingers crossed and best of luck to everyone!!!
After watching all of
gordon’s tapes on instruction, my friend copied them for my personal use,cause with no boat we are on a budget, a chance for a free trip to club med would be great.
I took one lesson from Gordon . hes the best!
Sure would love to go. Can't think of anything better.
Now that our ski season here in the Northeast is coming to an end, I need something like this to look forward to! What a break from the off season blues this trip would be!
After breaking my ankle this summer from skiing I NEED lessons from the best! What better timing and place to EXPERIENCE Paradise!
Hello from North Idaho. I had to winterize my boat a week ago do to abnormal 19 degree nights, wasn't ready for the season to end unexpectedly, just a trip to mexico is a dream let alone doing the very thing I love. SKIING.
Hey no need for anyone else to join because I am going to win and I hope that Doug Meeker is one of the coaches. That guy is awesome!
Never been but it looks like paradise.
Growing up in Montana we don't have the longest ski season. I learned to ski at five and was deep water starting on one ski at age seven. I have only had about three runs through the course to complete it and they were all three in seperate years. If you don't have the money to ski on the man made lake it is hard to even find a course. Now I live in Arizona and can ski year round. As a teacher who is married to a teacher there is hardly enough money to pay the mortgage and stay out of dept let alone to ski. I have always wanted to learn how to ski the course and from what I have read there is no better place.
I would like to reiterate what Barry, Mike and Silja commented about….
Whats with the US citizens only crap? Mexicans like us better anyway!
Would be a nice vacation… but probably wont win I'm not that lucky.
I have heard nothing but great stories about this place. Put your name in because you could win, i was fortunate enough to win the trip to fantasy camp this year and it was the time of MY LIFE!! The staff at Waterski Mag is an amazing group of people and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! I encourage anyone who can make the trip to try and go visit swiss ski school or even bettter attend Fantasy Camp.
I would love to go on this trip…The guy I love is a ski freak…It is his passion! This trip would be for him!
Sounds like a dream come true!
live in minnesota and it is snowing right now.would love to win this trip it would be heavenly to ski in paradise………..
I cant wait I packed my ski, gloves and a bathing suit , I am ready to go Winning this would be a dream
Ahhhh! Please let me enter!! We have nothing really like this in Australia!! I so want to go!!
Would have been nice to open it up to Canadians, we love skiing too!
