I just hope they get some snow up there in the next day or two. I'm not keen on trying to kiteski on ice. But Burlington is a cool city and I'm
heading up there no matter what.
Does anyone know how the wind forecast is shaping up?

I ended up going us on Saturday for a few hours and it was pretty fun. The drive up was a bit long, but the scenery was amazing, so in the end it was
totally worth it. I did discover that trying to learn how to ski with almost no prior skiing experience was almost impossible on the ice. It was
really cool talking to the few people that I did and seeing all the cool kites in the air, and I really enjoyed myself. It would have bee the perfect
day if I knew how to ski and there was some powder on the lake. It was my first year at the event, so Kitestorm veterans... how did this one compare
to prior years?

Oh almost forgot, on my drive up I drove right along Bomoseen lake in Vermont. The lake had a good amount of powder on it, and there were a ton of
people on the lake ice fishing and riding around on atv's. The lake is roughly an hour and a half from me, so I might try it out sometime soon.
Looks like a great spot to kite.
