Hi Hank, Good to hear from you. I totally remember snow kiting at Slide Lake with you and Mike and trying to kitesurf on Jackson Lake right in front of the dam in 2004!Still flying those FlySurfers? The local crew has gotten bigger and we have figured out more cool spots to kite.You can check them o...
Hey JR, I managed to sneak around the side of the cornice and drop in. Cornices can break loose and start big avi's, so standing on them or jumping off of them is never a good idea. We had avalanche equipment with the sleds, but chose to leave the shovel and probe and just run the transceiver once w...

Great snow in a remote location.

The question we should be asking is not is gliding dangerous. It is. Why? Mainly because the current g...
Great Videos! I got my 2011 C4 13m in December and have had about a half dozen snow sessions. Love the new valve. It doesn't freeze up in cold weather and makes it easier to pump up the kite. The 2011 is definitely beefier than the 2010 and you can really feel it in the loops. :cool2: Typical great ...
