Crystal Lake Snow Kite Session 1/16/2014
Wet and wild snow kite session. Deep packed powder was causing water to leak onto the ice surface. Occasionally after running thru the deep packed snow my board would hit the water/slush and then the water/slush would instantly freeze when I hit the snow. Talk about sticking it was like trying to ride with Velcro on the bottom of the board.
This water/slush was everywhere but as long as I stayed on top of the snow and didn't have to edge it was all right but that was a rarity.
Overall a decent session, wind was good, some snow depth was to much - causing pearling of the nose and usually crashing. By the time I was done I was totally soaked.
