Learned to ski on Silverwood in '77, went many weekends in the summers, moved away from the high desert in 93 to Havasu, and havent been back since. Water levels are usually high in the spring/summer (socal water source). Never had debris in the pump tho. A reverse cable is no reason to go home, a lot of v-drives ans PWCs dont have reverse. The beaches are few and far between and the wait to get in is a bitch too. (wait 4 hrs??? f'n nuts " I'll drive to the river")
