2/7/09 Co Op Creek

[Jon Manwaring]

Very nice day at Co Op Creek. Checked wind in parking lot and it read 8-20 mph. Not really gusty, just a gentle rolling up and down type of thing. Figured a Manta 10M would be just right. It was for the wind but the snow was heavy and wet. 4'-12" of non Utah Fluff. Fun to ride thru when powered and a bit sticky when working the kite. Wind direction allowed for 1 mile+ reaches S-N up and down the valley. Basically untracked, except for a few sled heads, who reported that it was much windier up on the ridges. Marty, where were you, I could have used another tow in. Saw several kites up at CC East, nobody at the River. Shared the joy with Mike L and Shaun. Jake, could have held the demo here, the 14M Nemi would have ruled. Hope PowMow was OK. Warm but cloudy day. Snow was really starting to set up when we left. Great to be back in action and off of injured reserve.
