That looS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s awesome. I'm just starting out and would never even think about attempting a 50km run, but I'm totally going to try to make the drive out and watch. Hopefully will pick up some good tips just by watching. Now the only thing is figuring out how to tell my wife how I want to spend Valentines day... Especially seeing as how she will be 8-1/2 months pregnant by that point...

The Saskatchewan crew are a great bunch and they host awesome events. Always had a great time at their windsurfing or kitesurfing or snow kiting events in the past.

Its surprising how easy you can do 50km. You can do that in about 2 hours with a 25kph wind. It gets hard when you try to accomplish it in one tack. :D

Damn, looks good. Too bad I'm over the pond :P

Should be amazing. 100+ kiters. Aditional 5 to 10cm of snow. 50 to 70kph winds. :mosh: :D :wee: :wee: :wee:

The picture of the race is my new screen saver. Looks great! :thumbup:

If they hold the race tomorrow it will be a real day for drinking Red Bull. Snowfall warning, winds 50kph gusting to 70 kph, high temp -16C before windchill. Saskatchewan is exempt from global warming.

Good luck to all Alberta riders!
