Thanks to all that came out and participated in the event. Thanks also to all the riders who were so understanding on Saturday as we had to cancel the day due to sled and boat issues. It was a great time and so cool to see everyone there at the party and able to get sessions in on Sunday. Thanks also to all the sponsors who contributed schwag to the cause and those reps that came down: Amery and Jeff (SS), Ashlee (Naish), Ken (Cabrinha and Snow Affair) , Matt and Jason (SOKA), Frank (Elk Lake Resort), Aaron Sales (Kiteboarding Magazine), and Michael Giebelhaus (Kite-Line)

A huge thanks to Darrell Elliott (workhorse for the whole sled team), Nick (snowmobile support and soon to be kiter), Jay and Niel (snowmobile support from Vancouver), Stacey (Tim's wife and shuttle support), Katie (raffle support and just core girlfriend support), core group of BKC, Steve O, Brent, Cale, and Kirk, for support and event site preparation, and Tim Carlson for putting this thing on in the first place and worked his ass off getting people together, and only got to ride one time. You get first session this weekend and first beer.

It was awesome to meet everyone and make new connections.

Thanks again, and we can't wait for the next one, hopefully with a permitted snowcat, so stay tuned on it. Thanks for coming to Central Oregon and kiting as it was a great time.

Check out these links for pictures. Alex Peterson put on a halftime show that was amazing.
