Question for the kite guys.

Post by Hutch »

:?: My son and I were out at the kite freeze this year and I noticed kiters on snowboards, skis and cross country skis. Have any of you seen kiters on shortie trick skis?

agreed, they are great if the snow is firm, they are not the best if there is lots of loose deep pow

I like them for soft mash potato like snow. They are really light on your feet.

I like longer fat skis for soft powder.

John Chang likes these; hard to argue with the smile on his face. Short skis work good!
