Spot Details
Open meadow with good wind most winter days and easy access off the highway.
8 - 12 mph upslope winds are generated by daily heating on calm days and 15 -35 mph winds are driven by storms passing through.
Small hills and meadows make good snowkiting for all levels, steeper slopes offer challenges for experts on the north of the road. High altitude requires big kites until winds top 30 mph
