Sweet! Im glad to hear conditions are good for my friends Chris and Molly at hardwaterkiter.com! Made it to VT for Kitestorm but not to NH yet. I'm
waiting for Chris to perfect the turtle burger before i make the journey!
What's frozen and safe?

Heard Chocorua had 4-5 inches of ice, anyway(Nasaskimbat).
Still waiting for big freeze down south in MA...
....Coming.....
Otherwise it's beach riding still down here 'til lakes freeze.. which is still great ...but want to get on my feet on blades or skis.
So where's the Kite cam video on this?!!Feyd - 28-12-2012 at 02:17 AM
Just you wait Rudeboy, just you wait we might have a reason for you to come for a visit, maybe bring that sad sack Downs with ya.;-)
In the meantime I want to see some posts in the HWK Speed Ranking from you Minnesota lot. Get Levins back at it if you can track him down!
@skimtwashington we rode Choco again yesterday. Wind was punchier than usual with the Nor'easter. Only good spot on that lake in NE wind is NW
corner. Ice is betwwwn 5 and nothing depending on where you are on the lake. The snow is weighing the ice down and the thin spots and holes are
showing up wet.
There's a big hole coming out from the western swamp. North end inlet is pretty sketch too. The ice over the sandbar seems to have set up.
We avoided the holes and had first tracks all day yesterday. Not as much snow as forecasted, about 6" when we were out. Wind was a wicked.:o
Actually felt and looked like winter.Mainekite - 28-12-2012 at 06:14 AM
Hey Feyd and Zeb,
Any word on where might be good for this weekend or new years, safe lakes or fields if they are available. Would love to get out and ride.
Thanks

Hey Craig,
Still waiting for reports from the gang over on your side of the border. One report I heard was Songo Pond up near Bethel is in play but no report
since the snow. The field up in Bethel behind the gas station was tilled I heard but there may be enough snow there now the it isn't an issue.
When I hear I'll let you know.
Chris
Thanks Chris for report.

sounds a bit sketchy and limited still. Glad you rode though.
I think things are late as Jack Frost has been getting back late from vacation this year:P
Wind was wrong direction to ride beach today
i want Ice!

Just got off the ice on Chocorua. Started riding around noon, rode until 9:00. 45minute supper break. First full moon session of the year and my
god I love moonlight flying better than anything. It was so bright you could see the snow drifting 1/8th a mile out. Amazing.
The lake is in good shape. The ice is sunk a little and theres sluch for about 40' all around the edges. Some Ice fishermen drilled holes and those
areas are flooded now.
More snow tomorrow and wind on Sunday. May hit Choco but I haven't been up north in a week so maybe north. Tomorrow I try to reassemble the
snowblower.:wee:
nice.

cold air is promised this week by weatherman-coldest in two years. About time.
Wish you had Video or pics...
8 hours worth or tracking lines on snow:o...?
I don't think Keith richards has done that many lines in a day.
Definitely addictive behavior.

Pic from yesterday.
A bunch of people over near Bridgeton Me. were riding Muddy River near Sebago Lake yesterday and said it was awesome. Muddy is damn shallow so
I bet it's in good rideable shape.Feyd - 29-12-2012 at 01:03 PM
