Snowboarding Without the Mountain



By Allison Jones
 
Brett Kesler, owner of Pinnacle Security, has opened a new business at Rainbow Lake.  He bought the RV Park there and found he could realize one of his dreams, to have a cable towing wakeboard system.  “I’ve always wanted to do it,” Brett said.  It is a way to enjoy wake boarding or water skiing without having to own a boat.  The idea to also use the system on snow to do snowboarding came second.  

Once the idea to use the cable tow system over snow as well as water came, they had to see if it was even possible.  They checked online, finding a YouTube video of snowboarding by cable, and checked with the company that produces the cable systems and determined it was possible.  The job of getting it set up went to manager Matt Vansteenkiste.
