Baller Thomas_Gustafson Posted March 22, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 22, 2023 The 5th annual ”Waterski ITALY tour” will happen again between Sept 25th and Oct 11th 2023. ”Waterski ITALY tour” is a guided tour from the north east of ITALY towards the west and then all the way south to Napoli. There are 8 exclusive spots being open to any level skier and non skiers are welcome aswell. Like past years we will visit 10 of Italy’s best ski sites but in 2022 one new lake was added so there will be 11 ski sites in 2023. With skiing and an unforgettable culinary experience the tour is something that must be experienced as the tour travels through 6 different regions (Piemonte, Lombardi, Trentino Alto Adige, Emilia Roman, Lazio & Campania) and each region producing its own culinary treasures. I would say that there are few if any country in the world where you will find such diversity in food in one country. As a matter of fact it was suggested that I name the tour “Waterski & Eat ITALY tour” Since 1991 I have come to work in Italy running ski school. I have enjoyed these past 30+ years visiting, skiing, competing & capturing photos for waterski magazine of all these different ski sites, and been exposed to some of the best food in the world and become a (as they say in Italy) ”Una buona forchetta”. I hope to share all this with all of you!

Baller Thomas_Gustafson Posted April 18, 2023 Author Baller Share Posted April 18, 2023 For those of you who don't have social media and haven't seen some of the testimonials about the tour I will post some of them here for everyone. "This a tour that will tantalizes the taste of every skier with any level of ability or experience. Every ski site was an experience of its own, all set in beautiful Italian locations that are for the most part away from the hustle and bustle of the major cities and tourist sites. Thomas had arranged magnificent accommodation in great locations throughout the trip with the food being an absolute highlight. Every meal was the best of the local cuisine accompanied by very beautiful wines. Everything ran very smoothly from pickup to drop off. I will be back to do it all again anther day."

Baller BlueSki Posted May 10, 2023 Baller Share Posted May 10, 2023 We would if we were not bound to the school schedule. The trip looks awesome, and why waste vacation time by not skiing on vacation. Give me several years and when the kids are gone, we will be there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally understand and since this is an annual trip I look forward having you in the future. Most likely there will be more dates in the future to accommodate the rising demand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Thomas_Gustafson Posted May 16, 2023 Author Baller Share Posted May 16, 2023 Another Testimonial ” Paul and I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that you really did an amazing job organizing and executing the 2017 ”Water Ski Italy Tour”! We are so glad we decided to join. We have been bragging about the fabulous job you did and were impressed with how easy you made everything for us, from the airport pick up to the 5-star meals and accommodations, you exceeded our expectations with the itinerary. Let’s not forget to mention the skiing, we are still reminiscing about the warm welcome, superb conditions and excellent coaching we experienced. We can’t thank you enough for the passion and detail you put into the tour both on the water and off. Bravo, Thomas we will be back”. Waterski Italy truly delivered the “Trip of a Lifetime ”. - Christine & Paul Celley, Wisconsin, USA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Thomas_Gustafson Posted June 14, 2023 Author Baller Share Posted June 14, 2023 Testimonial “ Italy was on our bucket list. What could be better than combining our favorite water sport with traveling to Italy? Turns out not much could be better! Thomas planned and executed this first tour nearly perfect. The areas covered, the mode of transportation, the places we stayed, the lakes that we skied at and the stories that go with them, the people we met, and the food we ate were all A1 perfect! In fact he should rename the tour to " The eat and ski Italy tour". If you love to eat, especially seafood, and love to waterski this is your tour. As a side note, I am a vegetarian and Thomas took meticulous care in making sure I had great food to eat as well. My husband and I have a love for traveling and exploring but rarely go back to the same place because 'how do you know where your favorite place in the world is if you don't go explore'? This is one of three places we would like to return to or things we would like to do again. We are definitely going to try to do this tour and Italy again.” - Mark & Sherry Jenkins, Washington, USA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Thomas_Gustafson Posted July 15, 2023 Author Baller Share Posted July 15, 2023 Testimonial from Alan and Sue Pickrell who came on the inaugural tour in 2017! “ Our 10-lake 15-day Waterski ITALY tour with Thomas was an experience of a life time. Thomas did a masterful job of organizing and guiding the tour. The ski sites provided a variety of settings and a chance to see much of Italy that typical foreign tourists might not experience. Thomas made special arrangements for food and wine delicacies that represented the regions of Italy we visited. All the water skiers, drivers, hosts and communities we met along the way made us feel welcome and appreciated. I hope they could tell how much we appreciated them as well. This is a trip not to be missed and we will remember it forever. Thank you for all you put into it Thomas .” - Alan & Sue Pickrell, Washington, USA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
