Time for the real deal!

Winter!!!
Wait for it...

I'm exckited!
Hope the mountains get walloped. When it's February and base of Mt Washington(at Pinkham) has only 3 inches..
..it's been bad snow wise. A Back Country ski trip would be nice somewhere in Whites.
Kite skating to become kite skiing on lakes......
Anniversary of Blizzard of '78 now.

Sunday morning sounds like the day

Fly during the storm ! 
:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:
Just keep flipping foil over in the air and shaking snow out ...or use a single skin type kite.
But you may not even see your kite in whiteout! Fly by feel.

Flying yesterday with snow coming down, a gust messed me up and I flipped over as it lit back up. Upsidedown and plowing snow with my face, I finaly
got the tophat released , when I got every thing reset I found about 5# of snow in one end cell of the kite none in the other. There after during some
bad turbulences the kite would rattle and shake out big blasts of snow , it was quite a sight. Managed to stay sunny side up the rest of the morning
dodging dustdevils (snowdevils ?)

Glad you're okay Spider. :wee:
The glass here was fun while it lasted but looking forward to putting the fast skis away and bringing out the fatties.

Wait, was this the same day as your 36.9mph? Jeeez man good run!
I flew in the storm already!

:wee::wee:
...well it's not that bad yet..but still part of the whole storm.
And it wasn't kite skiing..it was kite skating
Good wind!
Rode 6 blocks from my apartment on lake on skates. After that will be kiteskiing on same area.
Just wish whole lake was frozen. limited. More real estate will be nice.
Tomorrow I will ski down my front steps and kick and glide 'till I reach the lake and 'free' winds. Gonna need a tiny kite!
..Well... maybe.... if not a ridiculous white out and 50-60 mph winds......:puzzled:
Uh -ohhh:o..rain coming Monday? Get it quick..

I posted two little videos on youtube , one showing the snow and one showing the howling wind. Yea that was Wednesday 36.9 thru misc. packed and
drifting powder , fully depowered, I tried pulling in the bar a few times but I could barely stay in the seat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uLnXUoUL-0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=bDPal-rbZxA&feat...
