Where were you today Jake?!?!? Bill and I and his wife headed down to skyline for the windzup kite jam. it was super crowded (like 20+ kites in the air) but was super successful for my first time on a kite in over two months and my first time on snow. i rode a 14M waroo for a good 2 hours. it was variable, but got me to the top of bosco, a few 10+ foot airs, and hours of playtime. i dont' think i was ever "lit up" but i was riding. i think i saw just about every variation of kite from 8 meter access to 12 meter 07 frenzies, instincts, 12 meter switchblades, and billy's 16M rapture.
anyway, stoked to have finally got it and got plenty of kite time. i wished i could have seen you boosting airs off teh kickers jake. i think i learned more about flying a kite today then i did all summer long, and i'm definitely in the market for a waroo.
i look forward to ridng with all of you.
and to make this related to Jakes post, there were a few rocks and weeds poking through the snowpack, but over all the coverage is quite adequate. it's on like donkey kong as they say.
