Went out to Canadarago lake with a couple friends yesterday, and had a chance to test out the new Gopro HD. Snow conditions were great, about 6 inches of moderately packed powder. Awesome conditions considering I have zero snow about 40 miles away from this lake....

Wind was marginal, probably a westerly 10 gusting up in the neighborhood of 25mph, it was good enough to lay down some nice tracks. Kite is a Montana IV 9.5m. Nothing crazy in the video just a nice day of cruising, but I always enjoy other people videos, even the boring ones, so I thought I'd share mine.

Looks like you had a blast! I got outon Chaumont Bay today, wind was sustained 20 with gusts to 30 or so. With only 3-4" of snow covering the ice, I knew I'd never get an edge, so my bigkites stayed in the bag. There are pics somewhere, of me getting dragged downwind by a 2.4M NPW (HQ), butt scudding! I had fun anyway!:roll:

Atta-boy Bob, 3-4" is plenty to get an edge!

cool vid Ben, looks like you have a kick ass place to snowkite! Gotta love that Montana

Haha, I do love the montana, and I'll stop bothering you to sell me your 12.5 since I got a 12m Frenzy....we'll see how it stacks up, but I'm sure It'll be able to hold it's own. Look for it in future videos.

12m Frenzy cool! I would have like to see you add the 12.5 to your quiver but man I really like my Montana I gotta sell this Beamer 5m and get me an 8m something...... like a Neo

Stop posting videos with that big open celled foil on a bar in it ... now I really want one
Nice vid I enjoy the stoke-by-proxy too :D

beautiful video bro, im jealous of your snowy conditions.

Do you get much static discharge from your kite in dry weather there?


happy flying

Never had an issue with static, honestly I've never even heard of it with kites before.
