Re: Kite-o-rado Snowkite Conditions

Jarosa Mesa yesterday (Monday). Pretty good wind and there was a little fresh on top of a solid base. The Snow Mesa side hasn't had any activity this year. Didn't make it very far up the Snow Mesa side before getting stuck last time I went down, didn't even try yesterday! Looks like more snow on the...

Re: Kite-o-rado Snowkite Conditions

That is correct, north on HWY 135, turn right at Almont on 742, Taylor is at the end of the road in the winter. Summer you can go over Cottonwood pass into Buena Vista.

Re: Kite-o-rado Snowkite Conditions

Kited Taylor reservoir and surrounding hills today. The snow is filling in pretty well around the reservoir but you still need your rock skis. Reservoir is all frozen with about 8 inches of snow, some slush and some icy spots. Just thought I would pass it on for the early kite season people. Looks l...

Re: Kite-o-rado Snowkite Conditions

Nate. Went down to Snow Mesa Monday, the trail has NOT been groomed this year but has had some previous activity, it now has my snowmobile track up and back. The snow up top was thin in some places and getting wind scoured. Some of the blow overs were nice and soft though. Had some good wind in the ...

Re: Kite-o-rado Snowkite Conditions

Can't help to much in the Denver area for places to kite, but quite a few places are represented on this Kite-o-rado. Snow Mesa and Jarosa Mesa are favorites for me, would be a long drive from Denver, well worth the 2 hr drive from Gunnison for me.

Re: Kite-o-rado Snowkite Conditions

Went down to Snow Mesa this past Sunday. Managed to get the sled up to the top, the last 100 yards was a little scratchy. The snow is filling in pretty good but the wind didn't cooperate, got a little kiting in. Today went up to Taylor Reservoir. The ice is about 6-8 inches thick with 4-6 inches of ...

Re: Snowkite harness options?

I use the Black Diamond Big Gun harness. It is pretty comfortable and has decent padding. I've had it for a while and it is holding up well.

Re: Kite-o-rado Snowkite Conditions

IMG_2484.jpg Snow Mesa has enough snow to kite. Some rocks on the mesa but pretty good for November. Skinned in but could have taken the sled about half way, the upper part of the trail is still pretty rocky. There are a couple of trees down across the trail so the chainsaw will be on the sled next...

Re: Kite-o-rado Snowkite Conditions

Looks great down in the San Juans! Snow Mesa was good. The snow was a little wind blown with pockets of soft snow and good wind for the most part. Managed to track 37 miles parking lot to parking lot on Strava. Justin or Doug might have some more pictures to add to these. Keep that sled right side u...
