hairykitedude Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Got out on monday night in the dark, had a nice sesh jumping off the hill, really scratched my board and smashed my phone, worth it though! been boarding down hill as no wind today so made a nice run and kicker through trees. Looks like more tonight and wind, fingers crossed for tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marman Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Had a great session yesterday night, flying through the sunset, three of us on a hillside. FANTASTIC warrants the purchase of my setup if I can do that twice a year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnicol Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 4 days solid snowkiting, 6hours a day minimum. Back at work now for 4 days but probably a good thing as every muscle in my body is aching. Yesterday was probably the best day, loads of wind - went xcountry on a ridge with a nicely overpowered kite and deep snow. Hope we get a cold decade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jugglerjon Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Have had 4 blinding sessions over the last 4 days 2. All in different conditions. The best most definitely was yesterday around Weardale Ski tow. Nice deep snow and heaps of wind. Going out local in a few mins but it might be an 8.5 Biv uphill session if the wind doesn't appear.

_Geordie_ Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Never seen so many kites in the snow on Saturday. Must have been around 20 or so. We've had some pretty good sessions lately with the prospect of more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poldo Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Nicepics guys, sems to be a lot of good snow there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jugglerjon Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Just managed a final two snowkite sessions before the snow melted. One up at Yadmoss yesterday on my 8.5 Biv, wind was a bit sketchy and visibility was poor and then another blast on my local field today as the snows were melting. What a superb couple of weeks. Heres hoping we get more snow soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
