2025 Theme: Otter Time Fitness
In 2025, the Midwest Ski Otters are back on the water for our 30th Anniversary Season and ready to bring you the best in show ski entertainment as we continue the story of our OtterTime Fitness gym…with a twist! We’ll pick up where we left-off last year (but don’t worry if this is your first visit, we’ll get you up to speed!). Under the ownership of Jerry – our stern but beloved manager, Julie – his capable associate, and Skeeter – his bumbling apprentice, Otter Time Fitness has catapulted into a huge success. Our unique on-the-water fitness center is bursting with members!
So many, in fact, that the team needs to come up with a new strategy to support continued growth. Will Jerry’s bold & cutting edge plan to take Otter Time Fitness global find success despite Skeeter’s hairbrained schemes?! Join us this Summer to find out!
History of the Team
The Midwest Ski Otters were formed in 1995 with just 13 members. We spent our first summers struggling to ensure we had equipment, boats, and costumes so we could perform water ski shows for the community. With a lot of grit and determination (and amazing support from the community), we’ve grown to be a staple of Summer in the White Bear Lake area for over 25 years. In 2001, we added a Jr. Development team to help focus on training the youngest of members the skills necessary to not only ski but show ski. In 2014, we continued to expand making way for a Sr. Development team proving you’re never too old to join the fun. Our Sr. Development team provides adults (and older teens) an opportunity to focus and learn the skills required for becoming part of our Senior Show. The Ski Otters have come a long way since 1995, but our mission and goal remains today what it was back then:
The Midwest Ski Otters Water Ski Team is devoted to providing direction to the young and the young-at-heart, through a positive learning environment of water skiing. We are dedicated to bringing the Twin Cities Metro Area the best in wholesome family entertainment.
