Board is a great idea...oh well. The skis I used for the sled had a completely blown sketch edge anyway and were headed for the trash so the fact I got one good final excursion out of them was cool.

The site has tremendous kiting potential!! HUGE meadows to be had especially to the south. Just need an easy way to get there and more snow but it was a total adventure!

The winds were sketchy but I got a kite fix.

Snowmobiles would definitely open up many areas, but then the whole thing becomes a production. CONVOY!!!

I was pretty thrilled with Tarryall last weekend.

Totally right - By the next time we get out we'll have all sorts of additional options:D. Antero and 11 mile are 15 to 20 times bigger then Tarryall and can have mile long speed tacks unlike the short Tarryall turn fest. I may still get out this weekend if I can.
