Another beautiful day on Shawano Lake. (Vid)

March has got to be one of the best months for winter cruisin on the lakes, the sun is warm and the days are longer. Not a particularily exciting vid, but you get the idea..

Sorry to hear that Kober...we'll probably be skiing the lakes well into April if winter doesn't let up soon. Another 3-4 inches of snow here today.....that rodent in pennsylvania was wrong this year, no early spring for us.

Come on over! Song was "Born Free" by Kid Rock.

Man am I feeling stoopid. I convinced myself to wait to get a kite for next season because our winter was so bad, horrible ice conditions, when it finally did freeze no snow and I don't have an iceboard, yadda yadda. Usually our lakes here are no longer solid by early to mid March but right now we (finally) haven't had any melting temps for at least a couple weeks solid, there IS snow cover, my favorite ski hills all have several feet of recent snow with a foot fresh and are all closed due to wind.

Nothing less than 15 mph for days on end, tonight 25-35 with gust up to 45 or higher. Have fun out there!

We got a ton of snow and the wind's gonna nuke tomorrow. Rock 'n Roll!

Spent the last 3 days in the UP - northern WI lakes are ALL frozen solid, with good coverage. Curious how long kiting season will last? Wind here has been amazing - steady, predictable ... Shawano was sure looking tempting!! (As were the .75 zillion other lakes in the region)
