Matt and I have been waiting all year for this setup at Lake Creek.
As the snow clouds filtered away and the skies started to clear,
the setup was perfect, fresh snow, clearing skies, and solid wind.
We were able to cover more ground than any other day up there.
These days are really why we snow kite, frickn awesome.

Hope Saturday is as good.

Thanks guy's,
It's just so nice up there that I have to take a few snapshots,
to share with everyone.
Knowing it's a sled trip in, and that most won't ever see this spectacular kite spot.
Although there is enough room for a lot of kiters,
and it would be fun to have a big crew up there someday.

Sorry to say, but when some are posting about sticky, bad snow conditions,
down low, the snow is still creamy up on top,
For me, the snow conditions can be more important than the wind.

Billy, yes I am the proud owner of a Manta 3,
finally found the foil I like enough to replace my inflatables.
Light bar pressure, fast turning, and good pop.
and of course the easy riggn and pack up.
