Used my 10m and 7m Pansh Blaze on handles. Winds were up and down most of the day but plenty fresh powder!

Nice video...conditions look like some of the best I've seen all season. Who would have thought we would need snow in Canada?!

U2U me as I am in Edmonton. Would be awesome to road trip down next time you are out. I have a full quiver of Ozone kites from 4m to 15m and they need to fly!

I out out on Joseph Lake this Monday and it was OK. The 1-2cm we got really helped out. Here is a pic...

Sure thing Bikeguy...I am always looking for fellow kiters!

macboy - I have only been out to Joseph a few times this season due to lack of snow on Cooking. Anything out of the west looks like it would be the best. I've been out with a NW the past two times and it was really good.

Happy Family Day - looks great. Time for another road trip. We finally got an inch of snow down here Sunday night.

Getting set for a big dump Saturday and more snow with arctic air Sunday. Hope there is wind.
