I was able to ride in the Bighorn Mtns. near Baldy on Saturday and Sunday. This was my first time kiting with my long feet. The snow conditions were marginal (3-4 inches with many patches of grass) and the wind was very light. I put my 6m Naish up and was barely able to move.. I got my 4.2 C-quad up (with a little more wind) and was amazed at it's power compared to the Naish. I had two good sessions and this is what I learned...

1.) Save extra money to hire a professional instructor!
2.) Learning on snow is much easier than a skateboard or landboard.
3.) I need bigger kites!
4.) I'm still a gumby.
