Baller rayn Posted September 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 23, 2013 My friend had his 50th birthday party over the weekend so I drove up from Cincinnati where I was on business and about 15 minutes from his house basically at exit 21 on I69 is a beautiful private site (after some research I think it is Lake Mirage). If I had only known. Belong to Ballers? Then on my way back to the airport on Sunday, I passed by the Great Lakes Conference Championships at Pleasant shores. I just might have to move; seems like a lot more access to great sites than around Boston. It will definitely give me more reason to visit.

crashman Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm in Muncie about an hour south of Ft. Wayne. I've not skied on Mirage but it does look nice. It seems like there are several clubs 60-90 minutes from my location but I can be from work to my current club in 20 minutes. Our club's lake is going through a change of ownership so I might have to drive further next year. I live within walking distance of my work so I'm trying to convince myself that even if I have to drive an hour or two in order to ski, well that's a normal commute for some people.

boarditup Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The owner is a great guy, but not active on Ball of Spray. He was the former INT Indiana coordinator and has a real passion for growing the sport. If you want a nice place to ski, I am recruiting neighbors..... especially with slalom boats, my boat is an X-2 so the kids can surf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller PurdueSkier Posted September 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 23, 2013 @boarditup where do you ski now? I have skied on mirage three times this year at the INT tournaments. Loved the site. I ski on The salamonie reservoir but just pulled our course for The year. They are dropping the level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boarditup Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I am on Lake Placid - the Placid Waters development - in Allendale, MI. We are about 3 hours north of Ft. Wayne, near Grand Rapids. The course record is 5@41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller cacman Posted September 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 23, 2013 There are 3 other private lakes close to Fort Wayne. One Sunset lakes I think maybe in City limits or close. My place, Legends lake about 20 miles north, and Angola about 40 miles north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted September 23, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 23, 2013 @rayn I have seen that lake on I-469 many times. My in-laws live on that side of town and I pass it every time we visit Fort Wayne. I have wondered if I ever move up there if I would be able to find a place to ski.

Baller A_B Posted September 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2013 My friend who worked at Hydrodyne, skied at Hickman's lake many years ago. It was in that area. Not sure if this has changed ownership or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
