Utah Windriders Association

Got to Pow Mow at 10:30 and the wind was going about 18 mph SW. The snow surface was still pretty hard and flat and very fast. The winds were increasing and I flew for about 1 1/2 hours and had the 10m fully depowered. Several times it gusted and shoved me further up the hill. I couldn't edge against it and I was getting worked pretty hard. I went back to my truck for the 7.5m and still had plenty of power. The wind was about 25-30 when I left. It was probably the fastest day at Pow Mow all year. There is some sage poking up in places but 95% of the surface is still good.
