Argh... you're bustin by balls!
Only gotten 3 days in snowkiting so far. Hoping maybe this weekend delivers a bit of fluff to soften up the snowpack on the hill tops for some sessioning into the new year.

Hello Snowkiters,

This is exactly what I've been dreaming about for years!

I am a newbie and just moved to Stevenson. I would love to meet some local kiters and re-learn the basics of flying my 12m kite on snow. I took some lessons a few years back and have some experience flying on land, but I need practice. I am a fairly good snowboarder and I have all the gear. If anyone is willing to take me along and show me some local snow kite spots and share some knowledge/experiences with me, please let me know! The beer afterwards will be on me.

Thanks and a Windy New Year!

Butt Ass cold weather over the weekend might bring us some more white fluffy stuff for playing kite and seek out in the Hood River Alps!

Drive safe and play safe, it's gonna be a barnstormer this weekend.

here's a gps record of us getting close to POA a couple seasons back when we actually hit zero viz and turned around but you can get an idea of the access route.

We just got back from a 7 day snowkite trip to the NW. Pretty much anywhere east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington currently has some of the best snowkiting snow, wind, and most importantly: terrain.

The Inflictor has been on a quest for the best wind, snow, and waves for over 45 years. Victor for President!

Who says kites and trees don't mix.
