Frame Switch Ski Lakes

Frame Switch Ski Lakes were designed and built in the mid 1980’s, by the owners, Bob Prasatik, the engineer, and Jeran Hooten, the dreamer.  Built on a 160 acre site, the water level is maintained by run-off from the Little Mustang Creek watershed.  After years of skiing on Lake Austin, Bob and Jeran had a dream: to develop a private lake for water ski training and competition.  In 1983, Jeran joined Bob in purchasing farm land near the community of Frame Switch.  Bob and Becky Prasatik had been holding tournaments prior to that time on the existing Soil and Conservation District lake.  This body of water morphed into 2 lakes, separated by a long berm.  An adjacent third lake was built at the same time.  There are 2 boat ramps, 3 slalom courses, and 2 jump courses at Frame Switch Ski Lakes. Frame Switch is where ski school takes place every Monday evening from May to September, starting at 5 p.m. until dusk.
