Lincpike that kite is a pansh Ace. Its a rip off price when you can get them for about $150 new.

try looking for a kite called Ace on this web site PanshKite

you will save over $200 buy direct from the factory, on the price offered by that ebay rip off seller.

you can pick up a blade III for about $400.

also look at the Ozone series, they seem to perform well in snow or Gin Eskomo , Air Evolution ther ie quite a few.

find out what the wind conditions are for where you are going to fly and work back torwards the kite you need...

I an looking at a snow kite too and i heard that a big issue with snow kites is freezing the materials together when they are sitting on the ground ..dunno if that helps or not.

i am going to try out the Air Evo first up and if that isn't what i expect i will probably go for the Ozone Manta.. yes expensive ,but worth the money ...
