Kite Skiing

Written by:

We bought a new toy: a kite for kite skiing (or snowkiting). We’re not at the skill level yet where we’re using skis; so far we’re just getting used to working with the kite itself. However, a strong wind can still easily pick us up off the ground and/or drag us down the frozen lake.

How we spend most of our time

Our main challenge is that it’s generally not very windy here in the winter. Ideally, you want >20km/h winds, which we don’t get very often.

We can always drive further North where it’s windier. Maybe we’ll even do some Arctic Ocean kite skiing at some point this winter…
