The Lake Saint Louis Arch Rivals are the competitive show ski side of the Ski Club. While most, if not all, of the Rivals also participate in the Home Show, the Rivals take it up a notch!
Did you know that our Arch Rivals have placed consistently in the top ten, both regionally and nationally?
Practicing multiple nights per week, they put on a yearly themed show aimed at winning the Central Region Show Ski Championship and the National Championships. Teams are scored on originality, showmanship, difficulty, continuity, skill, boat patterns, and safety.
Members of our team consistently win individual awards and team awards, such as Most Valuable Skier, Best Production & Sound, Best Pick Up Boat, and Best Comedy Act!
Show-Skiing is a unique sport that combines all modalities of skiing into a choreographed musical on the water; it may also be your only opportunity to see grown men in sequins!
