Had my 1st ever snowkiting session this afternoon, Spent alot of time with the kite on the ground waiting for the gusts but did get some rides back and forth. The creek is stil open in spots so you have to watch were your going but very ridable. Sage brush was not a problem at all, (i do have some pretty fat ski's though

). Snow is still fresh but thickening it will be an awsome base if it ever snows again. Didn't trust the wind enough to get adventurous it was pretty on and off.
