Richardson Flats PC 1/15 Windy, Flat Light, Sastrugi

[whit]

When I got there at 2:30 there were about 4 kiters out all on Snowboards. It was overcast, blowing snow and gusting well over 20mph. I went out on my 10M Foil and Snowboard. Great coverage right now, but it was hard to find soft snow. The sage brush is really covered and there is a lot of area to cruise in, especially the south meadows. This is the 1st winter since 2004-05 that it has been ridable, should be good for awhile.

Everyone was on inflatables except Eric G and myself. 20mph and 11F.....don't know what that made the wind chill? Some jumping and cruising up the hills. It was better snow there last Friday when Billy, Jake, Kenny and myself were out. Those guys were gliding off the big hills that day.

Stoked that Richardson is happening this year. It is a lot closer than Strawberry. Forecast looks windy again for tomorrow. Whit
