What a beautiful day out at Turtle...so many kites in the air! :D It will be my new spot for sure! Jeremy, thanks for bringing out the grill for lunch and a big thanks to everyone who helped get Mr. Injury & his gear off the lake. :?

I had a great session today at Cannon Lake. The snow's in nice condition down there, with no icy spots. The wind was blowing nicely as well. I was well-powered on my 11M T3.

I can't ask for a better session than today, really.

I'm spent. Glad everyone got to ride. Quite a crew at Cannon as well. Never seen as many, other than at an event. Was worried the snow might get too warm but it stayed cool and fast. Super steady wind. Great to see everyone. I'll try and get some photos up soon.

Good times at Cannon....all we needed was a grill full of burgers :D Next time I'll make sure to do that!

Fun day, good wind and good snow too. Especially smooth and untracked on the north east side of the lake.

Track of the day attached:

Nathan, hope you're ok? Hope you didn't blow out your knee again. Bummer

Thanks Mike, Chris, Claire and Jeff for shoving me off the ice. Might be time for some snow tires.

Minds still reeling from yesterday..the long rhythmic rides carving endlessly downwind. So much fun.

Saturday on Cannon Lake was probably the best snowkiting day I've had so far this season...... nice smooth strong winds, great snow, warm temps, sun at our back - perfect.
