It has been about two months since I've been buggying. That part of our field not covered with ice is covered in goose poop. We should be back at it in a three months or so. I miss buggying.

Your layover is longer than my summer heat downtime.

It hasn't been two months but it feels like it. Days are just too short( hard to get the tide/wind combo), the lakes are not frozen yet and there is no snow.


But its comming:D

I miss it as well. Hoping now that baseball is mostly finished up in can sneak away for a run. Haven't been since the bash!

I don't think I have ever asked why you have no interest in snowkiting Scudley ?

Mamette and Tunkwa should be good to go . Just not sure if they have snow?

If you know of anybody with a pair 4E 10.5 ski boots they want to give away I would love them. It would be cheaper for me to build a sit ski than to buy new boots.

Right,

Now I remember. While it isn't ideal, have you considered trying a set of cross country skis ? I have seen videos of folks using them ?

with feet that big do you really need skiis?

kidding....

it's finally above freezing here so i'm going to the beach tomorrow
to check it out. wind's not very good, but going anyway.

lookin' forward to seeing the CC!!!

Only if you have an ass and gut to match. Not kidding.

Hi Scudley. I've got some skis you can borrow if you find boots.
Bladerunner, any dates set for Tunkawa? Im avail after 26th.
Whats winds like there? wondering what size kites to bring.

I also have a set of super short X-rental skis with a quick set binding system . So I can fit them to anybody's boot in minutes.

Over all. Mamette is typically very windy, if windy at all. Therefore it is often icy so sharp edges are an advantage. Tunkwa is only about 10 minutes up the road . It usually holds snow and obviously has less winds. They are close enough that you can choose on the day.

It is a long-ish drive. We have tended to go out on a given date and if the #1 ( for me ) issue of road conditions allows me us to go , we go and take our chances. # 2 ( for me ) it is not tooooo cold. This method leaves us skunked all too often but ... ? Even just getting out there and enjoying the place is better than sitting home and wondering .

Take every sized kite possible. Also a lawn chair. More than once we have hung out all day and then got an hour around sunset .

I had a very fun day at Mamette last year . Icy with long sharp skis and the 18m Phantom. So smooth that I am sure I was flying big lengths of time completely on apparent wind between the few low wind puffs.

alta and green aren't ready yet .... that was from my trip last week

mamette should be good to go, but i can't remember the weather site. however if you use the weather network, its pretty bang on for wind.

maybe whistler will be ready to go after my xmas trip to cancun.

I look at Logan Lake weather to get a feel for the conditions. Both are very close the there.

Jeremy, check your U2U's.
