Great Sacandaga Lake, NY

 

I have been wanting to kite this lake for awhile now but still have not done so. All posts from other forums and sites say good things of this place as a snowkiting destination. A quick look at the wind history tells me the wind is clean as far as winter winds go. Base numbers and gust numbers are tight. Downwinder potential is there too. For all going to the tugg hill event this could be a possible side attraction when coming home. If anyone else has any useful info on this lake feel free to chime in.. Katama7?

 

These guys are a phone call away and prolly know the present snow conditions

This is a fun little kiting weather widget. This deserves a post in itself on MK, it works with some of our local WU stations.

Exactly why I'm bringing it up now, always good to have options. I think it's about mid way, 3 hrs or so.
