going to give Sommerset a try this weekend.. if you see a snowboarder with a kite that'll be me. but don't worry, I won't be in the news. -Sq

Cool, thanks skifree and Cannonball for the maps. So how does one go about determining ice condition? does VAST have any type of advisory system, or is the observed ice thickness for Sommerset published anywhere? Is there a good rule of thumb regarding daily average/high temperature?

kites can be flown with or without a harness. and yes, when using a harness there is a quick release mechanism. one of the very first things that you learn and practice is HOW TO RELEASE..

yes, a lot of sports are dangerous. what's notable that the person in that news story drove to one end of the lake and kite skiied back to where he started. this would suggest that he wasn't experienced enough to know how to kite-ski upwind. kite-skiing downwind is easy, kite-skiing upwind...

Hi, Can anyone suggest snowkiting/kiteboarding spots in the vicinity of Mount Snow or Stratton? Usually large frozen lakes are a good bet. Any thoughts? thanks! Sq.
