Snowkiting Indian Lake
When:
Sat, 02/13/2010
Wind Speeds:
moderate 20-30
So Bob calls and tells me that there is kiting to be had at Indian Lake. For the first time I get an opportunity to ski vs. board and I loved it. SO much easier to be efficient and at ease on the skis. The ice and crap between the snow is not even and issue and you can take straight upwind almost with two edges. Plus the downwind jaunt is like taking a slalom if you through downloops in also with the force you can hit it like moguls from sliding off ice into a pile off snow. But I was shore the ice was not gonna be fun.
I started on my board tacking around with Ron and then after realizing that toeside on ice was much better(seems backward but you can get low, one hand out over ice with toeside). But thank you Bob for the new skis!!! They opened my eyes to say the least.
