Nice start, tips are good.........

However don't forget the Snow Shoes, or use a Spiltboard if you wanna Snowboard.......or you'll be post-holing which an'it no fun.

And don't go further than your willing to walk back, and time it with the daylight.

I'm not sponsered, Wink

just use common sense..

Can you solo launch like this also in more serious conditions?

Like say Kitesail "use your common sense",
if wind's get stronger, adapt your kite size (if you can...) i been snowkiting for now 10 seasons and i never had any kind of problem launching my kites like this and changing to smaller kite size when winds are stronger, and if it's too strong i just stay home, has snowkiting in strong wind's is not that fun (+35kts)
An other good tip is that If you are on a 6m full powered up and a littel on the limit, it's probably time to pack and go home...

Cheers Tom...
