I'm trying to remember everyone that was there.
Chris B, Nate, Mike B, Denis, Hunter,myself and I'm sure I've forgotten someone.
One of the days after rolling up my kite to call it a day I sat and watched Bjorn for about 1/2 an hour. He was in a league of his own. Only guy I've seen snowkite who could wear that pink suit and get away with it. The guy was pretty mind blowing to watch in person.

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 as good as the other places they went too.
Good video though.

Last year was great! I'm planning on going back this year. The party is like nothing you have ever seen before. Ask Chris B. for the details.

Lets just say Slingshot stickers make great pasties. It was a dirty job but someone had to do it. :)

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 crazy. I'm sure it'll be just as fun this year. Hopefully the snow conditions are better. If the predictions with a LaNina hold true, the snow coverage should be better.
