Great shots, awesome trip - thanks for sharing.
Were you actually kiting inside the crater rim? Looks like it. Wind must have been squirly. And you were able to kite back up to the rim from inside?
Are there any National park restrictions on kiting? Doesn't look like it.
Where was the skiing - Mt Thielson, or just inside the crater rim?
We'd love details! Thanks again.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh!!
"Mechanical Transport" is the problem. This issue was deeply discussed on another kite forum about a year or two ago. It may be a good idea for us to scrub this thread.

| Did you have clip-on attachments for those Garmonts? Never tried riding my bike with ski boots before. Nice!
