Just got to know where to go yo.
This year is tough for the lowlands, but the local lakes are frozen, at least 3 0f which are kiteable as far as I know. No deep pow, so keep that in mind, but they are park and ride locations.
Mt spokane is a possability also, but we've only talked, nobody that I kinow of has kited it yet. I kited Schweitzer about 3 years ago, but you need permission and I wouldn't reccomend it. Way too sketchy.
PM if you want any more info, and definately ride mt. pow on your way...

Mt spokane has been kited upon. S winds the spot is not large and watch out for the tower at the top. Here is what the spot looks like.

| The key to Iceage's statement is that the S. Face of Mt. Spokane is not large. Looks big from town, but shrinks when you're hooked into a kite. Dooable, but not destination quality.
