Snow kiting

December 8th, 2006

Snow Kiting is the latest winter sport. Large highly controllable foil kites are used to blast kite pilots along with just the power of the wind! The ‘Big air’ jumps that boarders and skiers are pulling under the power and security of power kites are simply breath taking.
Snow Kiting is a lot easier to learn than kiteboarding on the water!
-It is easy to stand on snow, which makes the whole process easier!
-It also takes a lot less wind to drive a board across snow than it does across water.
-The whole learning experience is lot less daunting as you need much less power and wind to get you moving.
-Finally, holding an edge in snow is much easier than in water making up wind progress much easier to master.
