Fresh snow - A Good day snow kiting even with marginall NE winds

Sunday 3/2/2014 Lake St Clair,  Milner Beach

Conditions seem very marginal but finally some fresh 3-4 inches of snow to cover up the crud that's been there since the last thaw.
Since winds were marginally I rigged up the 11 meter kite which worked fine for the first hour.
NE winds to 15 mph worked well to my surprise. I got in a good hour until winds became to lite to fly the kite.



Weather: mostly sunny 16 degrees
Conditions: Up to 4 inches of untracked snow - lite wind session. Winds were lite probably at best 15 mph from the NE.
Gear:11.0 Slingshot and snowboard
Schooled: Toe side

Maximum Speed 18.8 MPH
Distance 7.1 mi.
Duration 01:19:20 (10:23-11:43)
