 Tue Mar 06, 12 9:11 am Alaska snowkiting is on! |
 |
|
| The BigMt SnowKite FreeRide is heading up to Alaska for some snowkiting, backcountry riding, a few heli rides, Tailgate Alaska, and the Thompson Pass Snowkite Festival. They are having a great snow year and conditions should be epic. We are flying in (direct flights from PDX) on 29th and returning April 9th. Renting RVs and hitting the best spots. The Alaska Kite Adventure guys will be leading the way. Come on and join the crew.

| Looking forward to the festival. The wind has been looking real good up there lately. IKS which side of the road were you on on 20 mile? I didn't realize how much room was down there.

| Wed Mar 07, 12 9:58 am I was on Turnagain Arm side, if you can believe it... |
|
|
...I was kiting where normally Mac Truck sized icebergs and tidal flows are. Able to kite from one side of the arm to the other, which is unheard of. Lived here all my life and have never seen it this good. Near record snow falls, roofs caving in, and I expect snowkiting, at least at higher elevations, to last through the summer.
Pleasant breezes,
