Let's go fly a kite...in the snow
Your snowkiting checklist
To snowkite safely,you'll need a little more hear than just your kite and board or skis.Ice is extremely hard,so your head will need the protection of a helmet,and knee and elbow pads wouldn't hurt either.You'll also need to stay warm,but don't wear too many layers.Keep in mind that snowkiting is a workout that will get you sweating.A harness will also help you maintain control of your kite without too much extra effort.
The best conditions
Weather and location are everything with snowkiting,so choose your time and place wisely.It's good to start off in light winds with a little snow,not just ice,on the ground for cushion.A large,open space without obstacles is also vital as you don't want your kite pulling you into trouble.Frozen lakes covered with snow and flat or rolling fields are usually the best options.Whether you're near home or away on vacation,snowkiting is sure to deliever a great experience.
