5-10 feets a little much, at that point, it just makes it realy hard to drive to the kitespot. But I think I could handle a nice 3 or 4 feet, and then I get a snowday too!

Snow

Post by Eric B »

... and still raining. Checking the forcast, it doesn't look like there will be more than an inch here (Grand Forks) tomorrow. If anyone is really desperate for snow, I know they're getting dumped on in Western North Dakota. I'm tempted to drive out there tomorrow afternoon. If you don't mind a ton of driving, shoot me an email: ericflynb@hotmail.com

Snow

Post by Eric B »

Alright, for all you anxious to hit the snow, Gand Forks (where I'm at) got 1 inch... not much....

But it was enough to pop the snowkiting cherry. Very early this morning, a friend and I used a 1.1 meter windwing in 30-45 kt winds. The best part was trying to control little kite as it zipped. I went out later with a 3.6 meter and got a nice constant pull in less wind. The two sessions were a blast!

I'm rounding up a crew to drive West on Highway 2 (Northern North Dakota). Depending on time, we may also consider Dickenson. We'll be leaving after 2:30 PM. If you give me a call, we can meet or let you know where we're riding. 218-791-3544.
