I tried to go last year but it all fell through. I want to go this year (2012). The great thing about a place like that is you don't need much skill
to start but you will develop skill quickly as long as conditions are good. Plus a snowkiting video could help. I just still need to get it back
from my friend and I will send it off.

It is February 23rd-26. Just got posted on facebook yesterday. I got a message and it said Nic liked it too. There were just two of us at the time
so I guess we must like the same things. It would be great to see you Canadians there.

Just plan it and go. That's my home turf too. Tons of area to kite and awesome terrain. Just got a skiff of snow a few days ago out there. Here's a
webcam link.
