First Week Snow Kiting



I’ve been in Switzerland for a week now and all is well. The journey was long and tiring and for once I had enough music to not hear the same track twice.

There is not as much snow as last year which, was a very special season but there is certainly a good base. The pistes are a bit tired at the moment and hopefully we will get some fresh snow soon.

That said the kiting has been amazing. Lots of sunny days with steady northerlies. The well used areas still have soft snow and if you can kite a bit further a field there is still some good powder to be found.

As usual the toboganning is a big hit, especially at night after a fondue and some beers to numb the courage.

All in all a great start to the snow kiting trips.
