Day 13 of the 2015 season:Snowkite - Crusty Ice carving - Milner Beach

An early morning session proved to be an ice carving session. After a warm spell, a quick freeze and a little freezing rain added to the top of the crusty snowpack. It made conditions sub-par to say the least.
Although it was a fast day and it required a minimal workout  - it was easy to set an edge but the fun factor was nulled by the unforgiving conditions. You didn't want to be dragged across today's snowpack - it would of felt bad.

No photo shop here - this is a Michigan black and white winter
