Interesting catabatic launch from the top of Exterminator at Crystal Mountain. The air was damn weird and I just got down on this flight... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3qixzULBs0&list=UU7koakuFYn4UcqWYvVJL6ww&index=1&feature=plcp Nothing like taking the take off deep into the pattern and having a tree right in your chops!

Flying over the chair lift had to be a little freaky at least. Nice job quenyaistar Since 21 Oct 2011 416 Posts Cougar, WA Obsessed Wed Jan 11, 12 6:44 pm     What size foil kite was that, it looks small? _________________ 1 OF 1 JonMalmberg Since 15 Aug 2011 340 Posts Obsessed Wed Jan 11, 12 8:15 pm     10m Niviuk Skate... Wing rules... Here is a super fast/short/steep flight from the top of Silver King up at Crystal Mountain. I have been wanting to fly this line for a bit and finally talked the Ski Patrol into letting my and my buddy Matt Bergstrum drop it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO-Zl8uBpXk&feature=youtu.be When there is more snow, I have a much more committed vertical drop takeoff planned. But, this was good for the first go.
