The Return of the Water Ski Roof: McCall’s Quirky Landmark

In McCall, a charming town known for its picturesque landscapes and unique local businesses, a certain clothing company has caught the attention of residents and visitors alike with its eccentric rooftop display. Laketown Clothing Company, owned by the spirited entrepreneur Cade Huskinson, has become something of a landmark thanks to the hundreds of water skis adorning its roof. Despite facing challenges, including city warnings of potential fines, Huskinson has persevered in keeping the display as a tribute to community spirit and customer demand.

The story began with Huskison’s creative vision to use recycled water skis as a decorative element, which was met with enthusiasm from the community. However, the city officials viewed the installation as a potential hazard and issued warnings of $1000 daily fines if they were not removed. Twice Huskinson complied, removing the skis under pressure, but public outcry and the company’s customers prompted him to reinstall the skis, claiming that he was simply giving the people what they wanted.

As the skis have become an iconic feature of McCall, residents have rallied behind Huskinson, showcasing the town’s spirit of resilience and creativity. The display not only draws customers to the store but also highlights the importance of balancing regulation with community preferences.
