Spot Details

Dillon is one of the premier snowkiting sites in Colorado because of its predictable, great wind. The snow is maintained by Anton at Colorado Kiteforce and that helps ensure it doesn't get bullet hard mid winter or too slushy in spring. Dillon Reservoir plays host to the Therapy Sessions in March. This year the Therapy Sessions will be hosted by Drift Snowkite Magazine and should be an amazing event.
