With mesh on the air inlets you shouldn't get too much snow inside the kite. My AccessII has open inlets and does grab a lot of snow when I have to reverse launch it or park it for a while in blowing snow.

I always shake as much snow as I can out/off the kite, bar, & lines then pack it up into the rucksack to protect it, and if it is going to be exposed to above freezing temperatures unpack it at home and let it dry out. We get months of below freezing weather, and if I won't be parking in a heated garage, I have left kites frozen between sessions without any damage.

I just came back from the first outing! The wind got quite strong and I was freezing like h....(-20C) ,so I just connected the lines and prepared everything for the next time (tomorrow). I left the kite in the garage (-5C). Is it ok to leave the kite frozen there? Or should I melt it, it would get wet, tho...
Sry for the typing, I am using a phone:yawn:

If the kite got wet at all from snow, you want to put it in a warmed environment, I unpack and point a fan at it to make sure it gets dry.....

At -20C there is no way the kite would get wet. My main question was, will storing the kite in minus degrees harm it? It lying there at -5C slightly folded up, now.

I was riding the first time ever, today. Soo easy! I was going upwind within the first 10 minutes. The kite is a tractor, but it's real smooth. I bet I did atleast 30mph/50kmh today. I'll take the GPS with me next time.
I still can't believe how easy snowkiting actually is!:wee:

Some folks take to snowkite naturally. I did also.
So glad you have put it all together and found out it works for you !

I will leave my gear frozen for short periods of time. Drying it out can be a chore living in an apartment.
