I would look at glenshee as well, if you hike up onto the glas maol plateau at the top there is a much bigger area than at the lecht - but i would go with some one as well as it is a fair way from anywhere....

Dry the col de Lauteret right next to it, awesome for snow kiting. and well set up for it too.

Blueshade, So you go up the lecht yesterday? i had to work in the morning, but after work i wen tup glenshee, didn't take kites as there was not wind about, but i reckon the plateau of Glas moal is a better bet than the lecht for some kiting action. pic from yesterday to show the snow. http://www.smuffandrooney.co.uk/d/3361-1/IMG_1327.jpg there was no wind though. but i am watching it all the time.... it will be mine!!!!

would you think of a deal with exchanging it for an ozone frenxy 10m? PM me if you are interested. Cheers Dave

It can be really good though, but it is one of those \2if it is good you have to get to it straight away!" type things http://www.smuffandrooney.co.uk/d/2474-2/DSC_0015.jpg

Hi Katch, I will be in that area as well next winter from february onwards. Will have to meet up for some kiting over there. I am rather excited for it! Cheers Dave

I think the colour is great! http://www.smuffandrooney.co.uk/d/2248-2/DSC_0123.jpg

Worht noting that these are not built for jumping..... not to say i haven't jumped with it - but they are not designed and warn against it...... still love mine, very comfortable and light.

i have an 07 10m in that colour, is great.

deadman is a good idea. i have one, will take that. i was not keen on taking my skies off. and digging bar in snow might work, but there is a lot of soft un consolidated powder in norway at present, will go out there and play around and see what i can get to work. there is two of us so shouldn't be a problem, but i was trying to work out the worst case if i was by myself and i needed to anchor the kite. i think deadman is the answer. cheers all Dave

So once you are setting the kite up, one can load the back edge of the kite with snow. but once you are flying it and say you had to pull one of the emergency 'oh f*ck' devises on the kite, what do you anchor it with then? presuming sift snow. do people take skies / board off and use that until you have been over to the kite and laid snwo on the back edge again? people carry ice axes? can't see that happening. off to norway in a week and was wondering about this. Any other useful bits of advice for snow kiting as it will be my first time. cheers dave.

a couple of their shops have been closing down / been bought out. not sure but think there on in the sh*t with the bank manager

I will be keen as well if we get a good layering to go anywhere. Am farily new to this and am trying to find people to go and play with, so if you are going out can i please come along (i am not trouble, only eats a little and i leave no mess behind) Cheers Dave

have been thinking baout it, and i makes sense if i have no speed then it is a bit like flying it static and the kite will move across the window. am excited now to go out and try it! Cheers all.
