We had wind every day for the Snowkite Jam, then a one-day ski plane adventure with local pilot and Cabrinha dealer, Jim Chaplin, and finally snowkiting up on Thompson Pass near Valdez with 40 other kiters. Some of these locations get over 1,500 inches of snow per year. Chugach and Kenai Mts. One of the photos shows Monica Bassett with some very fresh, large, Wolverine tracks.

The possibilities with snowkiting seem to have no bounds...

Very cool!
