You guys got some good spots figured out??

moon mtn area??

Everytime I fly into eugene fro the south east it looks like trrain heaven for snowkiting. If there weren't so damn many trees person could see stuff from the ground. Rolling Eyes

I have had mixed results in Oregon with snow. Hard to put the time in to figure a spot out ......... crater has been the most consistant for me ... here ... with a beautiful mt bailey back up no wind plan... such a task with all tolls nessesary...
I will buy some bers for the pioneers of Oregons / northwest version of Haggin or Skyline.....

I got a sled and a pull trailer for it and three waterski handles for sledpoolin'.

keep banana belt commuters updated .

come on winter ............. the cold is renergizing me....

I looked at the link.... I think we posted those pics a few years back only with blowhard throwing a naish c kite around.

all the pics from skyline and montana also inspired me to look through the archives of posted picts.

how much do you all charge to take people into the areas?

Sol .... we will get together this winter . with the economy slowing down means more time for fun locally. there is some amazing terrain out here.

Sol-flyer · Fri Nov 07, 08 8:21 am

sorry, Not trying to pick on ya Wink

I've been waiting for you guys to get in touch and check out our snow scene. If its utah style riding you want....I can take you to a few places you'll drool over.

I want some vert. nothing like going strait up through cornices to make you smile.

mowing the lawn isn't my deal on the water or the snow.
not that mowing is what your doing.
ashland looks good.

that bus do well in the snow??

blowhard · Since 26 Dec 2005 2027 Posts Windward

ya ya we all want it all

next time the local weather comes on check out the large white area east of crater and south of silver lake
The only thing I know of in that area is Mt.
Hagen which last time I checked was covered in trees

but on the weather map it looks to be covered in SNOW
and is huge

Though a rail on the lawn and you won't be mowing anymore! It doesn't have to be bury. Hitting those Best rails at Georgetown Lake was the most fun I've had behind a kite.

Schey will tell ya! (Sorry If I butchered the spelling of your name)
