andyb Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 After posting on here back in January enquiring about a trip to the USA to look at farming practices and get some skiing in, we flew out on the 10 June from the UK to Minnesota. I never expected to have such an amazing time and meet some great skiers and now friends. I would like to thank everyone who let me ski at their lake which was fantastic and kind of you all. A huge thank you to Dave and Jim Ross (@6balls & Razorskier1) and family and Bob (@cowtipperguy) for looking after us while we were there. Bob and Dave were brilliant, taking time off to show me around the farms/local area and allowing me to ride a Harley and skiing their local "The Swamp". The whole trip was amazing and I look forward to seeing them in the UK in the near future ! (with plenty of gin/pimms ready) Thanks to Horton for BallsofSpray otherwise I would have never met the MN Ballers. Spot the Brit in the Photo !

Razorskier1 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 @Andyb -- great to meet you and Lorna -- we all had a great time! Hope the rest of the ski season in the UK treats you well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdarwin Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 @Razorskier1 - good job keeping them away from MS. That could have created an international incident beyond compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted June 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks @Horton for another "baller" connection not othewise likely. @Razorkskier1 and family, thanks for the help hosting at your place and the ski pulls there and New Germany. @cowtipperguy, excellent work helping get them to 6 courses on 6 lakes, to the farms and out on the Harleys! @Andyb and Lorna, fantastic meeting you both and we had a great time. Anne is missing Lorna! It actually feels strange to no longer have you two around, but as a result my liver is recovering from the Pimms and Gin assault : ) Here's to new friends! Anne is already trying to figure out a trip to the U.K. In the photo...I can spot the Brit...but who is the guy who's "lit"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorskier1 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I believe the answer to @6balls question would be the two guys on the left with the silly grins and the glasses of gin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorskier1 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 @jdarwin -- true indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
