First snow of the season in Northern MN
It wasn't enuf to go out and try kiting anywhere and there is no frozen water yet, but it sure got me iching for a session. Its been too long! The
real snow might as well hold off for a while as i'm gonna have surgery on my knee in a couple days so no kiting for me anyway for at least another
month....

No kidding. Amazing what you can ride on with a kite attached.
I'm happy to ride and leave green tracks behind me.:roll:

Agree what Feyd said. What ever can lubricate the skis is game in my book. It's just harder on the equipment, that's all. $25 dollar garage sale
specials, a thick layer of frost and let er' rip!!:roll:

A grassy field, an inch of snow and rock skis are a preseason dream. Just stay extremely light when edging. Who am I kidding, what edging.

Finally got out on skis for the first time on the local wildlife management pond. It's about 300 some acres of beautiful cruising, and good for all
wind directions and easy to access. Not much snow, mostly ice, but it was awesome. My new Flysurfer Pulse2 works great in light winds. Can wait for
more snow!

We got a foot of snow here Wednesday. Not a puff of wind since and in the 60's. Now we have about 3''.
Still zero wind.
