Winter Buggy????


Hey!
I'm new to kiting, and probably just like anyone else when they started out, I am exploring all the possibilities for fun with my new toy.

I was looking at buggying and forgive me if this has been asked before and I was just to blind to notice; but, is there such a thing as a buggy with skis mounted for in the winter time when the fields are full of snow. In my head I picture a buggy that has three green skis that kinda resembles an arctic cat snowmobile. If there is such a thing can someone post a picture. Otherwise I think I might have just found myself a winter project that I can use next year when my kiting skills are hopefully up to par. Thanks!

Here's a couple of pics of buggies that two Brits wanted to cross Antarctica with. Unfortunately, they didn't manage due to poor winds.

There was a Peter Lynn Buggy that sold here at the beginning of the year that had been modified for ice and snow.

In the meantime, you might find these of interest:

Ice Buggy

Ice Buggy 2

Kite Sledding

Buggy With Ski Modifications

You'll also find at least one winter rigs in the pics from last year's KiteStorm event.

ATB,
