Once a Nautique Customer, Always a Nautique Customer

Lee Schmidt is a husband, father of three and the owner and operator of the High Sierra Water Ski School in Lake Tahoe, CA. Schmidt is also a long-time Nautique enthusiast and uses Super Air Nautique and Ski Nautique models at his water ski school.

Schmidt’s love for Nautique started when he was a child, as he recalls going out on the lake with his dad in a Nautique. Schmidt has passed on his love for the Nautique brand to his three children: Jackson, age 11, Mason, age 9, and Devin, age 6. All three children regularly enjoy hanging out with their dad at work, canoeing and water skiing behind a Nautique.

"Nautique produces the best watersports boats in the industry. They are durable, reliable and well-designed. As a result, Nautique is my brand of choice for my family's water activities."

In the winter months, Schmidt can be found coaching Aline Snow Ski racing at Squaw Valley USA in California. During his 21 years as a snow ski coach, 56 of his students have gone on to participate on the US Ski Team and 19 have competed in the Olympics.
