Was going to go to Crystal Mt. for some snowboarding but as I drove to the mountain I noticed 1-2 inches of fresh snow on the road. So I thought it might be a good idea to check out the frozen Crystal Lake. Sure enough it was kitable. Looked to be lite to medium winds but it felt like enough.
Rigged the 11 meter with the Burton board. Launched and enjoyed the next 2 hours with non-stop action.
Surface conditions were not bad about an inch of fresh powder with soft pack underneath.
Mostly sunny day with temperatures 19-22.
Seemed like light winds on the ground maybe medium winds up where the kite flies.
It is amazing how lite the wind can be for snow kiting - estimated wind speeds from 8-20 mph from the WNW.
Data:
Maximum Speed 25.8 MPH
Distance 16.0 mi
Duration 01:49:19
