now go get some sleds.

We can all get together and find the goods.

Mt adams anyone??

the crater shot shows a tenth or less of the area, and the upper area , if accessible is huge as well.

Looking for all the skyline pics..

Here are a couple of shots I took when SCL and I were clowning around last winter. This year we are going to have an actual snowboard on hand for our one day window of opportunity.

Warren Millers new film is going to have a kite-skiing clip. I think it's that Alex dude clearing a HUGE road gap. You can see exactly 2sec. of him in this trailer:

Ohh great!! First, pictures of Rufus, now Georgetown/Haggin in the pics, now every dick, jane and henry will be out clogging up the locals spots that shouldve been reserved for the locals right? Laughing

After 16 yrs of snowboarding, I'll never buy another season pass for that crappy gravity thing again. For right now, you never have to race anywhere to get fresh tracks in the pow, theres full lakebeds and meadows of it!!! Very Happy

Is kiteboarding a 'life long' sport? Surfing and skiing/snowboarding(?) are good examples of lifelong sports for many people. Do you guys think you will be kiteboarding in 20 years, or will you move on?

funny you mention that,

i was shocked to see so many 50 yrs old kite kooks Wink

when i started, people who i later found to have a huge amount of experience about windsurfing Laughing

(and even a lil kiting)

i learnt me a bunch....like how i can kite when im retired Cool

I can see myself as an ol' kite kook Wink

Lifestyle - it's all about the lifestyle. I think that is what has taken surfing as far as it has gone.
