Oh don't worry Nate, there was a hot cowgirl contest. Not as rowdy as last years but still pretty fun. It was fun to see some of the MN crew out there. Had a blast again this year. Got a couple of my Bozeman buds flying my 9m inflatable this year. Rode tandem with the 9m and we were moving pretty go...

Heading up tomorrow morning from Utah. It'll be fun to see some MN kiters up there.

Hey Terry and Cathy, Katie (the Krazy one) told me about the accident this morning. Just want to let you know my thoughts are with ya and I hope the recovery goes well. From the posts sounds like everyone is rallying around ya. Wouldn't expect anything less. take care and get well soon man. john l (...

Tighe, Yeah, I'm out west now. The showing of Project Cloud 9 was in Salt Lake City. It was a good event. They gave away about 5 harnesses, a few backpacks, a Best Snowkite Board and a 6m Ozone. Place was packed too, probably didn't hurt that is was free. Man that party at the Rodeo last year was cr...

Yeah it was fun out there last year. I'm looking to go again and hoping to reserver a cabin on the lake for the weekend. Just got back from a showing of the Project Cloud 9 video. They only had a brief 20 second Montana clip from the Rodeo up at Mt Hagen. I think mostly because the condition weren't...

Nice, I'll have to check it out since I'm going to be only an hour away. It's the weekend before the Snowkite Rodeo in MT too. Two events in a row. Probably be a good road trip to hit both events.

Such a fun session. Wish I could have hung out longer.
Thanks again Avery for graping my board when I lost it after a jump.

Milly for sure.

Thanks Ben, The wind forecast doesn't look that great this morning though. Weather Service only has 5 to 8 mph. Probably just wait to hit the water when I get back from Fruita now. Should be warm enough then.

Would a 5/3 wetsuit work with those temps?

Want to help out. I'll be in Utah/Colorado that weekend of April 21st. If the ice break up is later, I'll be there.

Drove back from a weekend in the UP yesterday. Superior still has ice in Ashland. It was super foggy in Duluth but looked like there's still ice there too.

Great pics. Thanks for takin' them Terry and thanks for posting them Nate.
It was a fun day out there. Too bad I missed today. Don't know how many more days of snow we're gona have.

I have to say I had a really good time today on my skis (rossi megabangs). I thought the snow conditions were great for skis (still would like to try a board but skis are all I have right now). If a layer of sun crust forms the next few days, it will not be as fun for skis. There was a layer of crus...

Just wanted to say how fun this event was too. Just got back from MT. Got another day of kiting in at Mt. Hagin (and some resort skiing in). What a fun place to kite. Hope everyone had fun up at the crossing this weekend and got the details about the cowgirl contest.

I'm looking to be out there. I have friends in Bozeman and Missoula to meet up with too. Hoping to do some backcountry skiing along with kiting. My friend said it hasn't been a great winter out there yet either. Hopefully some storms move through there before the Rodeo.

Thanks, I have to work Sat. morning but I'm going to if I can leave early and make it down by noon.

What time is the presentation? Is it on Friday or Sat? I've already got tickets for the Banff Film fest on Sat. night. I haven't been able to go to the film fest for the last two years since I moved from Montana. Pretty excited to see the film fest makes a stop in Mineapolis and is part of a outdoor...

Hey Nate,
It'd be cool to check you guys out on the land boards. I'll try to meet you guys around noon too at the boat ramp.
john

Hey Nathan,
If you need help getting anything together for the snow, shot me an email. i'm getting excited about using the teles for kiting.
