 Mon Jun 13, 11 8:54 pm Beartooth Highway Opens!!! |
 |
|
Finally, after so much anticipation (and patience), the Beartooth Highway opened for the summer. However, summer is the last thing on my mind as I drove over the 11,000' pass. Snow banks two to three times the height of my truck dominated the drive. It's so snowy up here!
Big boosting was de rigueur for every kiter this weekend. The snow was fresh thanks for mid-day snow squalls. The winds were strong and super-steady.
The exploration was insane. With the record snowpack for mid-June I followed my dreams to kite an area SE of the highway. Usually this area melts out early and is never kiteable. This year is different. The area is 4 by 3 square miles. Its all kitable this year with lots of terrain features to discover.
The Beartooth Highway: It should be on every kiters hit list this year!
Oh, yeah, be prepared to fly your small kites and see ya out there,
Noah

Noah said it best when we were reflecting on 3 solid days of high country perfection
"It might get different but it doesn't get any better"
I was going to put some pics up but keep getting a message that my file location is "Empty" ??? I have slow Sat. connection so I'm curious if that's the issue or file size?
Anyway - more pics here:
